Scale
Jammy BBQ Sauce:
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 teaspoons El Yucateco Caribbean Chile Habanero hot sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Boneless Wings:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
To serve:
- Celery sticks
- Buttermilk ranch dressing
- El Yucateco hot sauce
Instructions
- Place all barbeque sauce ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; let simmer 5-6 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Keep warm in saucepan.
- Preheat air fryer to 360 F.
- Set up a breading station: Place cubed chicken breast in a layer on a plate or sheet pan. Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. Stir together flour and cornstarch in another shallow bowl. Divide salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and cayenne among the 3 bowls; stir each to combine.
- Carefully coat air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Dip cubed chicken in egg wash, then flour/cornstarch mixture; shake off any excess flour. Line in air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Repeat with remaining cubed chicken. Coat chicken with cooking spray. Cook 6-7 minutes. Flip, coat with cooking spray; cook an additional 5-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of boneless wings reads 165 degrees F).
- Place boneless wings in pan with barbeque sauce; toss to coat. Serve with celery sticks, ranch dressing and El Yucateco hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
Storage Tip: Store wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven. If you know you’ll have extras, keep the boneless wings and sauce separate and toss together right before eating leftovers.
