Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce store-bought or homemade
- canola oil for frying
Dry Mixture-
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
Wet Batter-
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces or nugget-sized chunks, making sure they are of uniform size for even cooking.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Add the chicken pieces to the egg mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated, then dredge the chicken in the flour mixture. For an extra crispy texture, repeat the egg wash and flour dredging process, double coating each piece of chicken.
- Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large pot or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature; it should reach around 350°F to be ready to fry.
- Working in batches, carefully add the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry the chicken for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a wire rack or a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Repeat until all your chicken is fried.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the buffalo wing sauce by heating it up. This step is optional, but warming the sauce enhances its flavor and helps it coat the chicken better.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the fried boneless wings. Pour the warmed buffalo wing sauce over the chicken and gently toss to coat the pieces evenly with the sauce.
- Transfer the coated buffalo boneless wings to a serving dish and serve immediately.
