Boneless Wings Recipes

Steps:

• For the sweet hot sauce: Combine the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, sriracha, mustard, vinegar, cayenne and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl and whisk vigorously until everything is mixed well.
• For the flour dredge: Mix together the cornstarch, flour, granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika, black pepper and cayenne in a large bowl.
• For the chicken: Heat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken into strips approximately the size of your thumb, making each strip as even as possible. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a large shallow dish for the egg wash. Roll the chicken strips in the flour dredge until evenly coated, shaking off the excess. Then dip in the egg wash. Then dip in the flour dredge once again.
• In batches, place the chicken strips in the fryer basket and drop it in the oil, giving it a good shake to make sure they don't stick together. Cook until they all begin to float, about 5 minutes. (To insure they have been cooked all the way, feel free to cut one in half.) Toss them in a large bowl with some sweet hot sauce until evenly coated. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Steps:

• Prep the chicken:
• Stir buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 Tbsp. salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 1 Tbsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Working in batches, transfer chicken to bowl with flour mixture. Toss to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or large platter. Working in batches again, dip in buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then dip again in flour mixture. Transfer back to baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• For the hot sauce:
• Meanwhile, cook butter, hot sauce, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• For the blue cheese dip:
• Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese, pepper, salt, and 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. chives in a small bowl. Top with remaining 1 tsp. chives.
• Fry the chicken:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Set a wire rack over another rimmed baking sheet.
• Pour oil into a large heavy pot fitted with thermometer to a depth of 2". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, fry chicken, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 4-6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to prepared wire rack, season with salt, and keep warm in oven.
• Right before serving, transfer fried chicken to a large bowl. Pour hot sauce mixture over and gently turn with tongs until coated. Serve with blue cheese dip and celery sticks alongside.
