There is nothing that says Super Bowl quite like chicken wings, and as delicious as they are why only enjoy them with sports? I say, lets enjoy these delicious bite size pieces of yummy all the time! I do not enjoy regular chicken wings; I am boneless wings fan all the way. The best part is these are incredibly easy to make at home with whole wheat flour and baked instead of fried! I think another aspect of these wings that I love so much is that they are basically all chicken because nothing is more disappointing then taking a bite and having it be all breading.
Another nice part of these is that the sauce is the last thing you add to them so before you add it you have homemade chicken nuggets! That's what we did for dinner since our kids don't really like wing sauce they can have chicken nuggets while my husband and I get to enjoy wings.
The best way for this to go smoothly is to have everything set up and ready to go and then "assemble" the wings.
First start with a bowl of flour. How much flour you use will depend on how much chicken you are cooking. I cut up 3 chicken breasts and used about 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour. I like to give my breading a little flavor so I added in 1 teaspoon each of the following - salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix this all together to make the breading.
In another bowl place 2 eggs and about 1/4 cup of milk and whisk together, I just used a fork to do this. Now your breading assembly is ready to go.
Cut the chicken up into bite size pieces, about 1 inch in size. Now you are ready to make the chicken pieces!
Depending on how much chicken you have and how big your bowls are you may have to assemble these in shifts. Start by putting the chicken pieces into the egg mixture and coating them in it. Then transfer the chicken pieces into the flour mixture and coat them completely in it. I've read that you can place the flour in a bag, put the chicken in there and shake it (essentially like Shake N' Bake) but I think they get coated better this way but that's just me. An important trick to remember while doing this is to have a "wet" hand and a "dry" hand. So, for example, use your left hand to place the chicken into the egg mixture and coat the chicken and then still using your left hand gently set the chicken into the flour bowl then use your right hand to cover the chicken with the flour. If you use 1 hand to do both you will essentially end up with breading your own fingers and it becomes a big mess. 
Once the chicken pieces are breaded place them a baking sheet and cook at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until they are cooked. You will want to turn them over about half way through. 
Once the chicken pieces are cooked you now have homemade chicken nuggets! If you want to make boneless wings place them in a bowl and pour wing sauce over them. Start with about 1/2 cup of sauce because you can always add more if there isn't enough but you can't take it away if they become too saucy. Stir the mixture until they become coated.
That's it! Homemade baked boneless chicken wings
