Equipment

  • bowls for mixing
  • air fryer or oven

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken breast
  • ½ cup corn flakes, crushed *see notes
  • 1 cup all purpose flour *see notes
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1½ Tbsp water to thin the sauce out and help spread it.

Instructions

  • Clean chicken and pat dry it. Slice into even, bite sized pieces. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, flour, corn flakes, seasoning. Mix with a whisk.
  •  Mix eggs together in a separate large bowl.
  • Dunk chicken pieces into egg wash, then into dry flour mixture. Lay battered pieces on a clean piece of parchment paper. Next, spritz the air fryer with cooking spray and lay the boneless wings in the air fryer in a single layer. Cook at 350 for 12-14 minutes. Be sure to check the chicken before eating, temps may vary a bit.
  • *if using an oven, bake on 375º for about 16-18 minutes. Oven temps will vary!
    Mix the barbecue and buffalo sauce together with the water in a large mixing bowl.
  • Immediately toss the hot boneless wings in the sauce mixture or sauce of choice. Use a large spoon to gently toss the wings to ensure crispy coating doesn't break.Serve and enjoy immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

*use almond flour or all purpose gluten free flour
*use panko breadcrumbs if needed. 
*BBQ sauce is optional. Boneless wings are great without sauce as well. Use your favorite bbq sauce and mix 3 tbsp water into it to thin it out. Warm in a sauce pan or microwave for a few seconds and toss wings in it.
