Description

Soaked in buttermilk and pickle juice for extra tenderness, these Boneless Buffalo Wings fry up perfectly golden and crisp on the outside while staying juicy inside. They’re tossed in a rich, buttery buffalo sauce that coats every bite with bold, tangy flavor. Ready in under an hour, they’re perfect for game day, parties, or an easy weeknight dinner with a little kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into large bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika, divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 to 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup buffalo sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and pickle juice. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon paprika.
  3. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a wire rack on top. Set aside.
  4. Pour oil into a deep pan or pot, about 2–3 inches deep, and heat to 350°F. You’ll know it’s ready when a small bit of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.
  5. While the oil is heating, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to create a thick coating.
  6. Fry in batches for 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to the wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to keep crispy.
  7. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Whisk together the melted butter and buffalo sauce in a large bowl.
  8. Add the fried chicken to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
