Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1 to 1.5 inches wide) and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dredge each chicken piece in the dry flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it again in the flour mixture. Set the coated pieces on a plate or tray.
Step 5
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy if you have one.
Step 6
Carefully fry the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and honey, mixing until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Place the fried chicken in a bowl and pour the hot sauce mixture over the top. Toss gently to coat all the chicken pieces evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your homemade boneless hot wings!
