This is about as homemade as boneless buffalo wings can get, without raising & slaughtering the chicken or growing the peppers myself 🤣

These aren't breasts nuggets dressed up as fake wings, they're real and they're spectacular 😆

I made a hot sauce for the hell of it and thought the best way to try it would be some buffalo wings. It was a quick stove top sauce that could use a bit more flavor so I have another one fermenting.

Deboning the wings might seem tedious but once you do a few you sorta get into a routine. I use a very sharp knife and scissors, it also helps if they're really cold. Not quite frozen because you need the meat to come off the bone but ice cold and firm to the touch, they'll warm up in your hands pretty quick too. You'll kinda figure out where you want the temp to be. I'd throw a plate with about a dozen from the fridge to freezer while I worked through another dozen, rotating like this worked great for me but might vary based on freezer temp. Don't throw away the bones, use them to make stock.

Since this was more about the sauce and less about the chicken, I just tossed them in cornstarch, racked to dry while I made the sauce, the fried until crispy.

The buffalo sauce was the basic hot sauce/butter combo with a splash of worcestershire. I didn't really want to add anything since it was more to try the sauce but next time I'd probably add minced garlic while the butter melted then let it simmer until the wings were done.

    God damn that must’ve took forever!

    I salute you on your tenacity, and I’m sure it was delicious.

    I was about to downvote because of boneless wings but then realized these are actually real wings. And a Seinfeld reference to boot, you rock!

  3. the_p0ssum

    That’s quite a bit of work!

    But I’m impressed with your “de-boned wings!” 🐔

    I need to try deboning them. I wonder if I have the patience … lol

    Wow, not what I expected! I’m definitely going to try this. This is the TRUE boneless wing!

  7. ChetHolmgrenSingss

    Wow, true boneless wings. I’m glad I didn’t reflexively downvote.

    This is the first time I’ve seen boneless wings I’m truly interested in

  9. biggiesmalls421

    Wow those look great, removing the bones prolly took longer than cooking them did

    Very interesting. I’m not sure it’s worth that much effort, but I can imagine the convenience of eating them this way.

    Now I really can tell the others “those aren’t boneless wings, those are chicken nuggets”

    True boneless wings. Top notch

    These are the only boneless wings that I consider legit. You’ve got to have the skin with dark meat!

    At first I was like eww but you literally shucked the bone and made the meat into a wing. Not gross processed corrugated chicken. This looks excellent.

  14. Be honest, how many did you miss a piece of cartilage on?

    I hate you for posting this cause I want to try it now and it looks like a pain in the ass. Well done.
