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.
