Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Wings

Air Fryer Boneless Wings

These crispy air fryer boneless wings deliver the flavor and texture you crave without the mess of frying. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are cut into strips, dipped in an egg wash, and coated with a seasoned flour mixture containing spices like cayenne, paprika, and garlic powder. The chicken strips are then air fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside while staying juicy inside. Once cooked, the boneless wings get tossed in a tangy, spicy buffalo sauce for an irresistible flavor blast. Serve these saucy, handheld bites fresh out of the air fryer with cool ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. It's an easy way to enjoy crispy boneless wings without the hassle of bones or excess oil.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (680 grams), cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 125 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 100 grams
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-2 inch pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • In one shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in a second shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Working one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, dip it in the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat all sides in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Add half of the chicken in a single layer, without overcrowding. Lightly spray chicken with additional cooking spray.
  • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, gently flipping halfway, until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees f(74°C).
  • Transfer the roasted chicken to a bowl and repeat the process with the remaining raw chicken.
  • Add cooked chicken back to the air fryer basket. Pour buffalo sauce over chicken and gently toss to coat. Air fry for 2 additional minutes just to adhere to the sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For added crunch, dredge the floured chicken in cornstarch before dipping it in egg.
  • For spicier wings, use hotter sauce. or choose your favorite sauce
  • Cooked wings can be stored leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 4-5 minutes of cook time.
