Step 4: Toss or Drizzle with Ranch Parmesan Sauce

Once the boneless wings are done baking, you have two options for serving:

Tips for Perfect Ranch Parmesan Boneless Wings:

• Double-bread for extra crunch: For an even crispier texture, you can dip the chicken back into the egg and panko mixture a second time before baking.
• Air-fryer alternative: If you prefer an air fryer method, cook the boneless wings at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crispy.
• Homemade ranch seasoning: If you don’t have store-bought ranch seasoning, you can make a simple version by combining garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dill, and a pinch of dried chives.
• Sauce on the side: If you prefer to keep your wings extra crispy, serve the Ranch Parmesan Sauce as a dipping option on the side rather than tossing the wings in it.

Variations:

• Spicy Parmesan Chicken Tenders Boneless Wings: Add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the breading for a spicy kick. You can also mix hot sauce into the Ranch Parmesan Sauce for a spicy version.

Ingredients

  

Boneless Wings

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling or spraying

Ranch Parmesan Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup buttermilk for thinning, optional
• 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix store-bought or homemade
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
• In one shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
• In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
• In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
• Working in batches, dredge each piece of chicken first in the seasoned flour, making sure it’s fully coated.
• Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Finally, roll the chicken in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
• Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t touching for maximum crispiness. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil, or use a cooking spray to evenly coat the surface of the chicken.
• Bake for crispiness: Bake the chicken pieces for 18-20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
• Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker sauce, omit the buttermilk, or adjust the amount to reach your desired consistency.
• Add the flavor: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Adjust the seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like a more pronounced tang, add a little extra lemon juice. For a stronger ranch flavor, add more ranch seasoning.
• Once the boneless wings are done baking, you have two options for serving:
• Toss them in the sauce: For a fully coated experience, place the cooked boneless wings in a large bowl and pour the Ranch Parmesan Sauce over them. Toss until each piece is evenly coated with the sauce.
• Drizzle with sauce: If you prefer a lighter touch, arrange the baked wings on a serving platter and drizzle the Ranch Parmesan Sauce on top. You can also serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
