Ingredient Notes ~ Tyson Anytizer, TGI Friday's, and More!
Most brands of frozen boneless wings come either pre-sauced like these hickory BBQ flavored Kroger brand boneless Wyngz, or with the sauce included in the box like these TGIF (TGI Fridays) boneless chicken bites. Some other options are the Tyson Any'tizer chicken bites or the Foster Farm Boneless Wyngs. Since boneless wings are not technically wings at all, it can be helpful to look for chicken bites if you are having a difficult time finding the frozen boneless wings.
- 1 lb boneless chicken wings or chicken bites - We used the TGI Friday's boneless chicken bites and the Kroger boneless wings for recipe testing. We've also made a Tyson Anytizer wings air fryer recipe with great results! ANY of these brands listed below will work, boneless wings and boneless chicken bites are essentially the same things! (Boneless chicken pieces coated in wings sauce)
Our air fryer boneless chicken bites (frozen) instructions will also work to make:

- Pilgrim's Blazing Chunks (air fryer)

- Foster Farm Boneless Wings (air fryer)
- We prefer to use the frozen boneless wings that come with the sauce on the side, adding the sauce once the wings are cooked. It gives you the freedom to swap your sauce and usually gives you a crispier and better end result. NOTE I used wings with sauce on the side for this recipe.
- Ranch and Blue Cheese are the best dips to balance out the flavor of your saucy boneless chicken wings.
- Don't substitute the boneless chicken wings/chicken bites for chicken nuggets, they aren't usually made with the same seasonings and will give your wings an undesired flavor profile.
Equipment
We used a Cosori 5.8 QT air fryer, but any brand of air fryer will work whether it's an air fryer basket, air fryer oven, or air fryer grill!

- Some boneless wings are sold with the sauce on, and others are sold with the sauce in a separate bag. If you purchase pre-sauced boneless wings be sure to keep a close eye on them, the sauces can burn easily
- You can toss your air fryer frozen wings in whichever sauce suits you. Typically Honey BBQ and Buffalo Sauce are fan favorite and pair well with Ranch or Blue Cheese and some fresh cut celery. If you prefer to kick up the heat a notch, sub the Honey BBQ sauce for some buffalo sauce and enjoy!
- Air Fryer's cooking times tend to vary. The first time you cook these be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Storage
- Storage: Store the leftover boneless chicken bites in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Leftover boneless wings can be frozen for up to 3 months in the freezer.
- How to reheat boneless chicken wings: The best way to reheat leftover chicken bites is to air fry them. If they're covered in sauce, place parchment paper or foil at the bottom of your air fryer. Add the boneless chicken bites in a single layer and air fryer them on 380 F for 2-3 minutes until they're heated through to 165 F. You can wrap them in foil during cooking to prevent the sauce from drying out.
Common Questions
If you're wondering what goes with chicken wings, these air fryer boneless chicken wings pair well with celery and carrots, and a side of blue cheese or ranch. For sides, potato skins or cole slaw can be excellent compliments to your wings.
Boneless chicken wings are not technically wings. They are similar to chicken nuggets, though the breading and spices used do vary. You won't achieve the same results if you substitute chicken nuggets for chicken bites/chicken wings.
To cook Tyson Any'tizer chicken bites preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees and cook for 13-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them the first time you make them, as all air fryers cook slightly differently and they can burn easily. Good luck!
Frozen Boneless wings take 13-15 minutes to cook in the air fryer at 380 degrees F.
