Baked Boneless Buffalo Wings

(Updated 1/2014   Since I first posted this recipe over 3 years ago I have made it countless times. My husband and I love these and make them all the time! It’s a perfect game day food. We love making this, especially on nights when we watch our favorite football team play on TV.  I’ve updated a couple of things in the recipe but only slight changes to make it even better.)

This is hands down my favorite recipe ever! I love love love buffalo chicken wings or anything with buffalo wing sauce on it! I actually never had buffalo wings growing up. The first time I had it is when Derek and I first started dating. And it didn’t take me long to fall in love.

Baked Boneless Buffalo Wings

I wanted to learn how to make buffalo wings at home but I didn’t want to fry them so I searched for recipes for baked wings instead. I started out making oven buffalo wings which were really good but Derek and I decided we like the boneless chicken wings better. And that’s when I started perfecting this recipe and I think it is perfect! If you love buffalo sauce you will love this recipe!

Bleu Cheese Dip

I highly suggest making this Homemade Bleu Cheese Dip to enjoy with the Buffalo Wings. It’s a super simple recipe but SO tasty! Much better than store-bought! it tastes so fresh and creamy. You’ll love it!

Baked Boneless Buffalo Wings
These Boneless Wings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce gives it the perfect flavor all buffalo wing lovers will love! Feel free to toss it in Buffalo Wild Wings Spicy Garlic Sauce or Honey BBQ Sauce if you want something different than the classic buffalo sauce. 
 
I know you will love this recipe!
 
Enjoy!

Baked Boneless Buffalo Wings

Buffalo Wings
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 9 minutes
Total Time 29 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 large egg or 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks or strips (about 3/4-1 lb. of chicken)

Sauce:

  • 1/4 Cup Buffalo Wing Sauce (I prefer Frank’s)
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the egg(s) and milk together in a small bowl.
  2. Place a piece of foil or parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip each piece into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend (double coat if desired) Tip: Use one hand to handle the egg mixture and the other hand for the breading to make it easier.
  4. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet and then spray a light coating of cooking spray over the chicken pieces. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and begins to lightly brown.
  5. Turn the heat up to broil and continue to cook the chicken for 1-2 more minutes or until the surface begins to become golden brown and crispy, watching it carefully.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool while you make the sauce.

For the Sauce:

  1. Combine the Buffalo Wing Sauce, butter, and water in a microwave-safe dish. (Or in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.) Cover and microwave on high until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove and stir.
  2. Toss chicken and hot sauce mixture in a bowl until all pieces are coated. (Gently tap off any excess flour before tossing with sauce if necessary.)
  3. Serve immediately.
  4. Enjoy!

Notes

If you’d rather fry these: Fry in 4-6 cups of vegetable oil heated to 375 degrees F. Once the chicken is breaded, chill for 15 minutes then fry for 5-6 minutes then remove them and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Then toss with the buffalo sauce.

To make ahead- Once the chicken is cooked through but before the 1-2 min. broil, take the chicken out of the oven. Let cool completely then freeze. When ready to bake, remove from freezer and bake at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until warmed through. Toss with sauce and serve.

      I made these last night and they were really good! I did have an issue with the flour though and was looking for some advice. The flour batter never seemed to soak up the oil spray. I started getting nervous when they were close to done because I could still see raw flour on all the tops. I brushed them with veg oil and sprayed them with more cooking spray but they still came out with raw flour on them. I ate them and they were good but do you have any suggestions? Should I omit the flour next time or reduce it to equal parts flour and bread crumbs?

        I’m glad you liked it! You can shake off any excess flour after it cooks if needed. Once you add the sauce it covers the chicken nicely and isn’t a problem. You can try equal parts flour/panko breadcrumbs. Let me know how it goes! I’ll have to try that next time I make this recipe and see which way I prefer. Thanks for your comment!

    I made these last night, they were awesome! I think it’s safe to say go ahead and double the flour/ spice mixture if you are going to double bread. I put each mixture into a gallon zip-loc bag and shook the chicken up in the bags for even coating. Thanks for the recipe!

    Hi Becky –

    Just tried your boneless wings for the first time tonight and we absolutely loved them! My husband and I prefer boneless as well and they rival our local wing restaurant! I have made buffalo wings at home in the past and never thought to broil at the end, genius! Crisp without the deep fry! I’ll be sure to try some of your Mexican dishes as that is a favorite in our home too! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 Nikki

    Can these be prepared ahead of time in a big batch? Let’s say for a party, instead of breading and all the prep work? Any suggestions! It will be a BIG hit for Superbowl!! I can guarantee it, I just wanna save myself some time.

    Thanks,

      I’m so glad you liked it! We love this recipe! I’ve never prepared it ahead of time. You could certainly already have the chicken cut into the smaller pieces and flour mixture ready to go. I am not 100% sure but I bet you could bread it and freeze it. I’ll try that sometime in the next month and let you know how it goes!

    Thank you for this recipe- you have it down to perfection! These are delicious! I used a pound of chicken tenders though and then cut each one in thirds, to avoid having to cut up full chicken breasts, as I dislike cutting raw chicken and they turned out great. I’ll be back for more of your recipes!

        Hi,
        Since you have these on a baking sheet, do you flip them at all? Just wondering if the bottom side gets soggy.

        Thanks!

          Jami- I don’t flip them. The bottom isn’t soggy at all. In fact it gets crispy but to get the tops more crispy you do a quick broil at the end of the baking time. Enjoy! 🙂

    Was a bit frustrated with these. Taste wise was great, but I followed the recipe exactly including the cooking time which I found way off. 8-10 minutes was not enough time to cook the chicken, unless you pound the chicken very thinly. I cut my chicken into strips, perhaps this was the reason for the cooking time to be off?

    Reply
    • becky says

      March 7, 2015 at 12:18 pm

      Sorry to hear you were frustrated. It’s important to remember each oven is different so cooking time in recipes is always a suggested time but time may vary because of that as well as the size of the chicken chunks/strips. Also the next step is to broil for 1-2 minutes so it continues to finish off cooking during that time. So the main thing is just to keep checking on the chicken to see when it is done because it will be slightly different each time. Hope that helps!

    I just wanted to say these were so good I nearly cried. I am pregnant but having gallbladder issues and can’t eat much fat. I have been craving boneless buffalo wings for so long now, but due to the fact that they are fried I haven’t been able to eat them. Luckily, spicy things do not bother my gallbladder. These baked boneless buffalo wings were so amazing, you couldn’t tell they weren’t fried! I was skeptical that the breading would yield the same “crunch” as the fried, but it sure did!! I can’t quit talking and thinking about these, thank you so much for this recipe 🙂

      November 24, 2015 at 3:27 pm

      The serving size depends on if it’s the main dish or appetizer. As a main dish I would say it feeds 3-4 people and as an appetizer 7-10 people.

      I don’t know how many grams of protein. I usually use 2-3 chicken breasts depending on the size.

    Wow! There is a wings place where we live called ‘Roosters’, and my husband and I LOVE their boneless wings. I made these the other night, and we both thought these were just as good – if not better – than Rooster’s! I couldn’t believe it! And it’s a bonus that they’re baked and not fried. I, too, was concerned about the excess amount of flour, but when I tossed with the buffalo sauce, it wasn’t a problem at all. I broiled these for a lot longer than suggested, only because we like our wings really crispy, and they turned out great. I highly recommend this recipe! It’s awesome and also so easy! 🙂

        I was going to flip them but after 10 min on 475 the only part that was browning was the bottoms. The broiling for 2 min finished them off(tops) and they turned out fantastic. Tossed them in some BWW Spicy Garlic Sauce and it was a hit for everyone. Thanks for the recipe!
