Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Batter and Coating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
For Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying
Sauce
- 1 cup buffalo sauce or sauce of choice
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (if using buffalo sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into evenly sized bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a flavorful coating.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk thoroughly.
- Coat Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the flour and spice mixture. Place the coated pieces on a plate ready for frying.
- Heat Oil: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the oil is sufficiently hot for frying.
- Fry Chicken: Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 4 to 6 minutes each until golden brown and cooked through, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Drain: Remove the fried chicken using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Toss in Sauce: In a large bowl, combine buffalo sauce with melted butter if using. Toss the hot chicken pieces in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve: Serve immediately hot with your favorite dipping sauce if desired for a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the coated chicken wings on a lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray at 425°F for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Alternatively, air fry at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
- Feel free to customize the sauce flavors by using barbecue, honey garlic, or teriyaki sauces instead of buffalo sauce.
