    Ingredients

    a bottle of bbq sauce, chicken breasts, tapioca flour, almond flour, eggs, salt, and pepper laying flat on a backdrop

    BBQ sauce- You can use whatever bbq sauce you prefer but if you are wanting to keep this Whole30 then be sure to check your ingredients

    Substitutions

    Tapioca flour- if you don't have tapioca flour then you substitute the tapioca flour with arrowroot flour

    BBQ sauce- you can use whatever bbq sauce you like for this recipe. If you are wanting to keep this Whole30 then be sure to check the ingredients on your bbq sauce

    Honey BBQ boneless wings- If you want to add honey to the sauce to make honey bbq boneless wings, you can. Just know, it would make them Paleo and not Whole30

    Buffalo Boneless Wings- you can use this same method but use buffalo sauce. My Whole30 Crispy Buffalo Chicken uses this same method

    Frequently asked questions

    Are boneless wings really wings?

    Boneless wings aren't really from the wing of the chicken. These Whole30 BBQ Boneless wings are made with boneless skinless chicken breasts.

    Are boneless wings better than regular wings?

    This is a personal option, but I prefer boneless wings over regular wings. Boneless wings are less messy since you can eat them with a fork.

    Step by step

    whisked eggs in a clear mixing bowl
    a cutting board with chicken cut into cubes
    whisked eggs and chicken cubes in a clean mixing bowl
    a plate with almond flour and tapioca flour mixed together
    a plate with almond flour and tapioca flour covering cut up chicken pieces
    a pan with chicken pieces coated in almond flour and tapioca flour
    a sauce pan filled with bbq sauce and salt and pepper
    a pan with crispy chicken pieces
    a small sauce pan filled with bbq sauce and crispy chicken pieces

    Here are the step for making boneless wings.

    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk two eggs
    2. Cut 1lb of boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-1.5 inch chunks and add them to the mixing bowl with the whisked eggs
    3. On a large plate, mix together ⅓cup of almond flour and ⅓cup of tapioca flour
    4. Heat 2tbsp of avocado oil in a large pan to medium heat
    5. Using tongs, one at a time take a piece of chicken and cover it in the almond flour mixture then place it into the pan. Try to not overcrowd the chicken. You may need to do this in batches.
    6. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side then set aside on a clean plate.
    7. While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan add 1 cup of bbq sauce, ½tsp pepper, and ½tsp salt and turn the heat to low.
    8. Once the chicken is done cooking, using clean tongs, pick up chicken pieces one at a time and dunk them into the saucepan with the bbq sauce till all sides are covered.
    9. Serve with a side of celery, carrots, and your favorite ranch.

    Air fryer method

    You can use an air fryer to cook the chicken instead of using the stove.

    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk two eggs

    2. Cut 1lb of boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-1.5 inch chunks and add them to the mixing bowl with the whisked eggs

    3. On a large plate, mix together the almond flour and the tapioca flour

    4. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

    5. Spray the basket or tray of your air fryer with avocado oil and place the coated chicken pieces into the basket or tray. You will most likely have to cook the chicken in batches so you don't overcrowd your basket or tray

    6. Set the timer for 12 minutes. At the 6 minute mark, open the air fryer and flip the chicken, spray the flipped side with avocado oil and continue to cook for the last 6 minutes

    7. While the chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan add 1 cup of bbq sauce, ½tsp pepper, and ½tsp salt and turn the heat to low.

    8. Once the chicken is done cooking, using clean tongs, pick up chicken pieces one at a time and dunk them into the saucepan with the bbq sauce till all sides are covered.

    9. Serve with a side of celery, carrots, and your favorite ranch.
