Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pan for frying

Ingredients

For the wings

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk or you can use regular milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 bottle vegetable oil for frying

For the buffalo sauce

  • ½ stick butter
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed and minced
  • ¾ cup Frank’s Red Hot
  • 2 teaspoon honey

Instructions

To make the chicken

  • Whisk together the buttermilk and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add the cut up chicken and cover to marinate. I like at least two hours, but I like overnight even better.
  • Add the oil to a dutch oven or large saucepan and heat it up to 350 °F. I recommend using a kitchen thermometer for this, but if you don’t have one, dop a pinch of flour in the oil, when it bubbles, the oil is ready.
  • Mix your flour salt and other ½ teaspoon of salt. Take the chicken straight from the buttermilk into the flour. Press and squeeze the chicken vigorously to really get some serious flour coating on the chicken.
  • Fry the boneless wings for about 5-6 minutes. They should be nice and golden brown. If you have a thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165 °F.
  • Remove the chicken and set onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch the excess oil. Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl.

To make the buffalo sauce

  • Melt the butter in a saute or saucepan over medium heat. Lightly fry the garlic in the butter until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the hot sauce and the honey and cook over medium-high heat about four minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens a bit.
  • Add the hot sauce to the fried boneless wings and toss thoroughly to combine. Serve on a plate with a side of blue cheese dressing.

Notes

These are best eaten right away, to maintain crispiness. But can be reheated in the oven up to four days later. I don't recommend microwaving them, reheating in oven will help them to crisp up a bit a second time.
