Not surprisingly, Matt asked me to make him buffalo wings for Father's Day haha. I've been perfecting this recipe over the last year. I've had a hard time finding the right amount of cornstarch to give the wings crunch without giving them a gritty texture. I've slowly adjusted the mixture of spices as well. Sometimes, it takes time and perseverance to perfect a recipe. Tonight was the night. These were perfect and I definitely won't be making any more changes.
Boneless Buffalo Wings
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 Cups flour
1/2 Cup cornstarch
2 Tsp baking powder
1 Tsp salt
1 Tsp cracked black pepper
1 Tsp garlic powder
1/2 Tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 Tsp paprika
2 Eggs
2 Tbsp milk
- Preheat deep fryer to 375° F.
- Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
- Whip the eggs then combine with the milk.
- Trim the chicken breasts then cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Toss the chicken in the flour mixture, then toss in the egg wash, then toss in the flour mixture again. - You can toss the chicken in the egg wash and flour one more time if you like thicker breading. Matt and I prefer the breading to be a little bit on the thin side.
- Fry the chicken wings in the deep fryer until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. - Generally, when deep frying, your food will start to float to the top when it's cooked.
- Drain the chicken wings on a cooling rack over top of some newspaper to catch the grease. Allow to cool for about 2 minutes.
- Toss with your favorite sauce. We like Frank's Buffalo Sauce and Frank's Sweet Chili Sauce.
