For the BBQ Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup White Vinegar adds acidity
  • 1/4 cup Molasses for sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Honey balances flavors
  • 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke Flavoring for smoky flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder for the sauce

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Chicken - Start by cutting the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly and are easy to eat.
  2. Step 2: Make the Coating - In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, ground black pepper, red chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika. This seasoned mixture will give the chicken its delicious crunch.
  3. Step 3: Create the Wet Mixture - In another large bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. This will be your wet mixture, which will help the flour coating adhere to the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Coat the Chicken - Dip each piece of chicken into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
  5. Step 5: Heat the Oil - In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of the flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles, it’s time to fry!
  6. Step 6: Fry the Chicken - Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Step 7: Prepare the BBQ Sauce - In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, white vinegar, molasses, honey, liquid smoke flavoring, salt, onion powder, and red chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce is heated through and well mixed, about 5 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Toss the Chicken in Sauce - Once the chicken is cooked, place it in a large bowl and pour the warm BBQ sauce over the top. Toss gently until all the chicken pieces are well coated in the sauce.
  9. Step 9: Serve and Enjoy! - Transfer the sauced chicken wings to a serving platter. They can be garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade boneless chicken wings!

Notes

  • Let the coated chicken rest for about 10 minutes before frying for better coating adherence.
  • If using a deep fryer, maintain a consistent oil temperature for a crispy texture.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
