Honey Chipotle Boneless Wings

Buffalo Chicken wings are a classic appetizer that has remained popular over the years for a good reason. They’re finger-licking, lip-smacking amazing!

But although they’re without question delicious, I have to say these honey chipotle boneless wings would easily topple them off the top finger food list. Sticky and saucy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside with a delicious medley of sweet, tangy, and spicy, you’d be hard-pressed to eat just one!

This honey chipotle wings are perfect when dipped in a side of tangy ranch dressing.

Are boneless chicken wings really wings?

Here is a truth–> The first time I tried boneless wings, I really thought they were chicken wings that a cook painstakingly removed the bones from. I ate each piece, wondering how they were able to bundle the separated meat together into one solid piece.

Of course, when I started to make them myself, I learned that what we call boneless wings are large chunks of chicken breasts that are breaded and sauced like their bone-in counterpart.

Honey chipotle boneless wings are the perfect food for a game day get-together.

How to Make Boneless Chicken Crispy

Although they do have nice, crisp edges, these boneless chicken wings are not ultra crunchy once they’re sauced but it’s still important to bread them properly for the best texture.

  • To ensure the coating doesn’t fall apart, double dredge in flour and allow to rest or chill in the fridge for a few minutes before frying.
  • Try to cut the chicken breasts in uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • Use an oil with a high smoke point such as canola, corn, sunflower or peanut oil. The breaded wings are deep-fried so make sure to use enough oil.
  • Fry at the optimal temperature range of 350 to 375 F. Too low and the breading will absorb a lot more grease and might fall apart. Too hot and the breading will burn/brown even before the chicken inside is sufficiently cooked.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow space for the chicken to cook properly. Fry in batches as needed and bring the temperature back to 350 F before adding the next round.
  • Drain the fried wings on a wire rack set on a baking sheet to catch oil drips and not on paper towels lest the escaping steam might make them soggy.

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and smothered with sauce, these wings are unstoppable.

What is Honey Chipotle Sauce

The chicken pieces are moist, tender, and tasty but the real heart of this recipe is the honey chipotle sauce. This stuff is so good,  you’d want to put it on everything! It has so much flavor, I love to spoon it on piping hot steamed rice sans meat and call it a meal.

All you need to prepare this mother of all sauces is ketchup, honey, a few tablespoons of the adobo sauce chipotle peppers are packed in, vinegar, and a touch of butter. You can easily adjust measurements and make it less or more spicy, sweet or tangy.

These honey chipotle wings are so addictively delicious, you'll want at least a dozen!

What to Serve with Honey Chipotle Boneless Wings

Serve these delectable wings with carrot and celery sticks for a side of fresh flavor and ranch or blue cheese dressing to cool down a bit of the heat.
