Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into large bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp salt divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika divided
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp pickle juice
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¾ cup buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and pickle juice until well combined. Add the chicken breast pieces and toss until every piece is nicely coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 4 hours for even more flavor and tenderness.
- Prepare the Crispy Coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon paprika. This simple mixture gives the boneless buffalo wings their crispy golden brown crust.
- Heat the Oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pan or heavy pot until it’s about 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop in a tiny bit of batter, if it sizzles right away, the oil is ready for frying.
- Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks well. A thicker coating creates extra crispy boneless wings.
- Fry Until Crispy and Golden Brown: Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is crispy, golden brown, and fully cooked. Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to keep the coating crispy.
- Make the Homemade Buffalo Sauce: In a small bowl, melt the butter. In a larger bowl, whisk together the melted butter and buffalo sauce until smooth and glossy.
- Toss and Serve: Add the crispy fried chicken to the buffalo sauce and gently toss until every piece is evenly coated. Serve the boneless buffalo wings immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce and a sprinkle of parsley if desired. Enjoy every spicy, crunchy bite!
