    Kelley Simmons Kelley’s Tips

    Before You Get Started

    • Don’t skip the first dip. Always coat the raw chicken into flour first before dipping it into the egg. This helps the breading to stick really well to the chicken without it falling off.
    • Make your own BBQ Sauce! My tried and true Bourbon Barbecue Sauce is DELICIOUS and perfect for these boneless chicken wings.
    • Ready in 30 minutes. These chicken bites bake up super quick and have the best taste and texture shortly after cooking. (Although leftovers are delicious, too!) So plan accordingly for when guests arrive if serving at game day or parties.

    Ingredients

    • Chicken breasts – Boneless and skinless chicken breasts make the best bite-sized boneless wings.
    • All-purpose flour – For the first coating on the bites. Swap with your favorite gluten-free flour alternative if you prefer GF-friendly bites.
    • Corn flakes cereal – The sorta secret ingredient for the most crunchy and delicious honey barbecue boneless wings! Again, you can use a gluten-free version, if you like.
    • Spices – A simple combination of garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper are all you need to enhance the flavor of the barbecue sauce.
    • Eggs and milk – Together these help the breading stick to the bites and bake up crispy.
    • BBQ sauce – Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors! Some barbecue sauces are hot and spicy, some are sweet and mild, while others are super tangy! Try a different sauce each time. You could also experiment with mustard and make them honey mustard chicken bites! Use less mustard than you would BBQ sauce, try 1/2 cup.
    • Honey – Use refined honey that is pourable to make the sauce, not the firm raw stuff.

    How to Make Honey Barbecue Chicken Bites

    1. Preheat Oven: To 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set it aside.
    2. Set up a breading station: Add flour to a small bowl, set aside. Add cornflakes, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl. Set aside. Whisk eggs and milk together in a small bowl.
    3. Bread Chicken: Begin by dipping chicken in flour then egg, then the crushed cornflakes. Repeat with all of the chicken bites.
    4. Bake: Place the breaded chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes on each side flipping halfway through.
    5. Make the Sauce: Heat the barbecue sauce and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
    6. Serve: Toss to coat the boneless chicken wings in the sauce and serve immediately.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are boneless chicken wings?

    Boneless chicken wings are not actually wings, but chicken breast meat! There wouldn’t be much meat left if you deboned a chicken wing so, for ease, we use chicken breast meat.

    Are baked boneless wings healthy?

    Compared to fried chicken wings, these baked boneless wings are much healthier as they aren’t deep-fried in oil. You can make them even healthier depending on the sauce and breadcrumbs that are added.

    Are boneless wings keto?

    Not usually, as they are coated in breadcrumbs (or cornflakes in this case). If you’re looking for a keto-friendly chicken wings recipe, try my Air Fryer Chicken Wings!

    How long do leftover honey barbecue chicken bites last?

    Boneless wings will keep well for up to 3 days in a sealed container and stored in the fridge.
