Ingredients
 

Honey BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

Boneless Wings:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 large egg or 2 egg whites
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut into small chunks or strips (about ¾-1 lb. of chicken))

Instructions
 

For the Honey BBQ Sauce:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until ingredients are well combined. Keep warm on the lowest temperature as you prepare the chicken. (Or you can prepare the sauce while the chicken is baking.)

Boneless Wings:

  • 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.
  • Place a piece of foil or parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip each piece into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double coated. (Tip: Use one hand to handle the egg mixture and the other hand for the breading to make it easier.) (Or to save time just dip once in the egg mixture then the breading blend.)
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • When the chicken pieces are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Toss chicken with the Honey BBQ sauce. (I just toss the chicken in the saucepan.) Serve immediately.

Notes

To make ahead- Once chicken is cooked through but before the 1-2 min. broil, take chicken out of 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.
