About This Recipe

"This is a copy cat recipe from Todd Wilbur and his Top Secret Recipe site. I made these for my husband and I and they are just like the ones from Chili's. So good, I am sure you will enjoy them. It is a little time consuming but worth every second."

Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 chicken breast fillets
    • 4 -6 cups vegetable oil
    • 1/4 cup hot sauce ( Crystal or Frank's Louisiana)
    • 1 tablespoon margarine

    On the side

    • bleu cheese salad dressing ( for dipping)
    • celery rib

Directions

  1. Combine flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a medium bowl.
  2. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk.
  3. Slice each chicken breast into 6 pieces.
  4. Preheat 4-6 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees.
  5. One or two at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double-coated.
  6. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes.
  7. When the chicken is done resting, drop each piece into the hot oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until each piece is browned.
  8. As chicken fries, combine the hot sauce and margarine in a small bowl.
  9. Microwave sauce for 20-30 seconds or just until the margarine is melted, then stir to combine.
  10. You can also use a small saucepan for this step.
  11. Just combine the hot sauce and margarine in the saucepan over low heat and stir until margarine is melted and ingredients are blended.
  12. When chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a plate lined with a couple paper towels.
  13. Place the chicken pieces into a covered container such as a large jar with a lid.
  14. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the container, cover, and then shake gently until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce.
  15. Pour the chicken onto a plate and serve the dish with bleu cheese dressing and sliced celery on the side.

  • "SO GOODD!! I am a wing fanatic, and i'm so happy i finally found a way to satisfy the craving outside of a restaurant! I followed the recipe exactly, and used Frank's Wing sauce. Definitely recommend that sauce, it comes out perfectly, not unbearably hot or spicy and not too mild. PERFECT. love it. Recommend not using your basket though, because the batter can stick to it. Use a spoon to get the wings out instead!"

  • "WHY, WHY did I bake these and not fry them? I took the advice from some reviews here that said they came out awesome after baking. Nope. Sometimes frying is just a must, even though not as healthy. 4 stars for now, just because of the baking method I followed, but I'll fry them and update the recipe to 5 stars I'm sure, because the taste was right on. The texture was not. ****UPDATE: I made these again, but fried them this time...oh my goodness - delicious. Made a triple batch for a party appetizer and they flew off the plate! PERFECT!!!"

  • "If baking like others have sugested, make sure you use a very Non Stick sheet. Caused a little extra clean up, but they came out great. We made two batches: one hot and one BBQ."

  • "Made these tonight for part of my Super Bowl feast. Loved them!!!!! My daughter said they were the best wings ever. I made the copycat version of the Spicy garlic sauce from BWW from this site to coat the chicken pieces. MMMMMM mmmmmmm. I'll be making these every year. GO STEALERS!!!!!!!!"

  • "I used chicken tenders and also baked them after frying for 5-10 min. We are buffalo wing addicts and really enjoyed this recipe."

  • "I tested this recipe yesterday, replacing chicken with wild quail breasts. I also baked them at 425 for 10 minutes a side. They turned out VERY good. I used Franks Red Hot sauce. I will use this recipe again for Super Bowl Sunday, and I think my guests will really enjoy these "wings." Thank you for a great recipe!"

  • "I'm giving this recipe five stars - but with a warning: these will only be as good as the sauce that you put on them! Isn't that just common sense? So, if people are finding them to vinegary or too spicy or whatever, it isn't the recipe's fault - it is whatever sauce you have bought! I say this as someone who has made this recipe a few times - and usually it is awesome but once it was kind of gross, but that is because i bought some horrible sauce for the last stage. Having said all that, I love this recipe and will continue to make them. And oh yeah, another thing: I flash fried them to get the "batter" crispy, but then I baked them in the oven, WITH the sauce, for nine minutes at 350 degrees and they came out moist, juicy and crispy and delicious. I've also tried this recipe with BBQ sauce instead of Wing sauce, and I have to say, that works pretty good too! Thanks Dayla!"

  • "these were DELICIOUS!!!!! My husband couldn't get enough, I made them 2 nights in a row!! they were easy and quick, I didn't have cayenne pepper so I used crushed red pepper flakes but they were amazing!"

  • "We made these for my DH b-day and they were great! We'll definitely make these for a future party. Thanks! :)"

  • "Really great! I think it may need a bit more flour mixture because I was scraping the sides by the time I got to the last piece. Also I used more than 1/4 c hot sauce. I used more like 1/2 a cup. I don't know if it is just me but when I tossed it with the sauce, some of the breading fell off...but still delicious!"

  • "DELICIOUS.. I made these as per the recipe although after they sat for about half an hour i rolled them in flour one more time before I deep fried them. I've never had Chili's boneless wings but these are easy to make and delicious. I couldn't cook them fast enough as they were being goobled up as soon as they came out of the fryer. Great recipe Dayla."

  • "We loved these! I needed about 1 1/2 amount of flour mix to coat 1 pound of chicken. Kids loved them dipped in ranch dressing."

  • "Followed the recipe exactly, came out good. If you like franks hot sauce, you'll like it."

    By lionessmeme_12690328 on February 01, 2013 | 1363675

  • "Wow! Fantastic recipe! I used regular Frank's Red-Hot and it was great! The chicken comes out juicy with a nice crusty outside which gets coated with that flaming-hot goodness! I should have made a double batch."

  • "DD made this dish for us on Christmas Eve and they were a hit by all of us. We didn't off any dressing to dip into (because I forgot) and we still loved them. They were easy to prepare too. Thank you for sharing with yummy appy with us."

  • "Absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much!"

  • "I love this recipe and have made the wings quite a few times. I wouldn't really say that they remind me of exactly what Chili's puts out onto the table, but it doesn't matter. These wings are probably way more healthy. I have tried the baking option as well as the frying option. Perhaps the frying option is a little closer to Chili's boneless wings, but both options turn out well for me. This recipe can be a little bit of work compared to some other recipes, but it's well worth it. Others have always enjoyed them, and I sometimes like to pig out on my own."

  • "These are awesome!! Making more tonight :)"

    By HeidiSue on August 24, 2012 | 1327411

  • "My entire family loves these wings in their own way. My younger kids eat them without the wing sauce, but the rest of us love them as written. Easy recipe that pleases everyone!!!"
