Wild Buffalo Joe's Boneless Wings

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (you can use breasts if you're concerned about the fat, but let's be honest, you're deep-frying here)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 3/4 cup flour (whole wheat is fine if you want to pretend this might be healthy)
• oil, for deep-frying
• nonstick cooking spray
• chicken wing sauce (2 cups of one flavor or 1/2 cup each of 4 different sauces...etc.)

Recipe

• 1 beat the egg yolk into the water or milk until somewhat frothy.
• 2 mix the panko, flour, and cornmeal in a large boil.
• 3 heat a sturdy pot with 2-3 inches of oil in it on the stovetop.
• 4 pat chicken dry and cut into bite-size pieces.
• 5 dip each chicken piece into the egg yolk mixture, then coat in breading and set on a plate or something.
• 6 when the oil is ready (about 350 to 375 f), put a batch of 5-7 chicken pieces in gently- try to keep them from touching.
• 7 check them in about 5 minutes- if they are golden, they are ready for the next step- put them on a plate covered in paper towels. it's ok if they are not quite cooked through yet.
• 8 as you keep frying batches of chicken, heat the oven to 350°f.
• 9 when you are done deep-frying, place the chicken pieces on a cookies sheet, spread in a single layer.
• 10 bake the chicken at 350 f for 30-35 minute.
• 11 when you take the chicken out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes.
• 12 in the meantime, get out a number of containers (tupperware-type is fine) corresponding to the number of sauces you are using.
• 13 divide the chicken into portions based on your number of sauces.
• 14 put one portion of chicken into each container, and top with 1/2 cup of sauce for each 1/2 pound of chicken (or to taste if you like saucier/less saucy wings).
• 15 shake each container vigorously for 2-3 minutes.
• 16 open up the containers and serve! maybe on a fancy plate if you're into that kind of thing. me, i just eat them right out of the tupperware.
