You’ve never had chicken wings like these before! These Boneless Cheese stuffed Chicken Wings look like drumsticks, but they are ALL wings, with gooey cheese and spiced pork stuffed inside! I just might even call them the ultimate party, game day snack!
You’ve never had chicken wings like this before. I’m almost sure of it. 😉 These are the mac daddy of chicken wings baby! BONELESS Pork and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Wings with a Spicy Sweet Chili Sauce! Yup, that’s right, not only are they stuffed with a delicious ground pork and cheese filling, they are completely boneless (apart from the bone that serves as the handle of course; wait, did I just say handle? I sure did. Continue reading, to be amazed), and with plenty of bite and meat to chomp on, unlike regular wimpy wings.
And don’t let the sound of that intimidate you. These are easy to make! If you can cut up chicken wings and know what tendons are, you can totally ace this. And if that didn’t convince you, fear not. I got your back. I made a video showing you exactly how to do it.
So next time you’re tasked with finger foods, appetizers or snacks for a party or for game day, you’re going to hit it out of the ball park with these stuffed chicken wings! I paired these with some pork stuffed hatch chile peppers (also see here on how to roast hatch chile) for a game day gathering recently, and they were all anyone could talk about (including the game)!
I made these with wingettes AND drumettes. Plus, you can use the wing tips to make chicken stock too. The video above shows you how to debone the wingettes and drumettes AND as a bonus, I also show you how to cut drumettes to make chicken lollipops! These could also be stuffed, although the cavity is too small for stuffing cheese.
So you can go ahead and make boneless stuffed wings! It’ll take just a little bit of practice at first, but “once you get a handle on it”, it’s super easy and quick. The number one tip would be – don’t pierce the skin. And number two – use a small sharp knife. And number three – these are obscenely delicious. Well, that was more of a forewarning.
I’ve made these boneless stuffed chicken wings so many times at home, so much so that, this is the only way we’ll eat chicken wings now. And I’ve been wanting to post this recipe for a long time too, but kept putting off making the video. But not anymore. You know how those bones always get in the way of truly enjoying a scrumptious chicken wing? Well, here there’s a fantastic ground pork (you can use chicken too) and cheese stuffing in place of those bones. Imagine, biting into one of these to find out that it’s all gooey and cheesy in the center with even more awesome meat stuffing? And that’s all the while you hold it like a lollipop! 😀 And yes, they do kind of look like chicken drumsticks too.
If that wasn’t enough, I serve these with my Spicy Sweet Chili Sauce. But feel free to serve them with any kind of dip you like. A couple of other options would be this green curry yoghurt dip, or even a creamy vegan ricotta if you’re entertaining any vegan friends and are making other vegan snacks like these baked mushroom fries for example!). These truly are the ultimate party appetizer.

Ingredients:
Chicken Wings
- 10 chicken wings separated into drumettes, wingettes and tips
- ½ tsp each of salt and pepper
Stuffing for Chicken Wings
- 12 oz pork mince/chicken mince
- ½ tsp each of salt and pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 7-8 oz / 200-250g Mozzarella cheese block cut into 20 blocks (about 10g each)
Dredging
- 2 cups AP flour
- ½ tsp each of salt and Pepper
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper less if you like it less spicy
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Panko crumbs
- 2-3 eggs lightly beaten
Instructions:
- Chicken wing tips are not needed for this recipe, so you can save (freeze) them to make chicken stock on another day.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken drumettes and wingettes and season well. Leave them in the fridge overnight. (You can also season the chicken AFTER deboning them - your call).
- Debone the drummettes and wingettes, then push the meat and flip it over the end of the bone to create a pocket which can be stuffed. Please refer to the video above, or linked here for directions on how to make these deboned chicken wings.
Stuff the Chicken wings - there are two slightly different methods to stuff the wings.
- ONE - Place a piece of the Mozzarella cheese deep inside the pocket. Make a 1.5 inch ball out of some pork mince and place it over the cheese and pack it in well and smoothen the surface to completely cover the cheese and seal the pocket.
- TWO - Make a 1.5 inch ball out of pork mince. Embed a piece of mozzarella cheese in the pork mince ball and place this deep inside the cavity. Pack it in tightly and smoothen the surface to completely seal the pocket.
- Set aside on a tray until you're ready to cover them with breadcrumbs.
Set up a dredging station -
- In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic, and onion powder well.
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Place the panko crumbs in another plate.
- Place the stuffed chicken wings in the flour mix and cover them lightly with the flour and seasoning.
- Next, completely cover the stuffed chicken wings with lightly beaten the eggs.
- Next, coat them completely with the panko crumbs and place them on a parchment paper, until you have crumbed all of the chicken wings similarly.
- Heat vegetable oil to 360°F/185°C. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Prepare a baking tray with a wire rack on top.
- When the oil is hot, carefully place 2 - 3 stuffed chicken wings in the hot oil (be careful not to overcrowd), and fry for about 4 minutes until golden brown all over. Place the chicken wings on the wire rack. Repeat with all the chicken wings.
- Place the wire rack with the chicken wings in the preheated oven and bake for 10 - 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (the exact time may vary from one oven to another - test one chicken wing to make sure).
- Serve immediately with some Spicy Sweet Chilli Sauce.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much Mr K and I love these. These chicken wings fly off the plate every time, as if they’ve suddenly come to life (too much? sorry). If you eat them while they are still nice and warm, the cheese oozes out irresistibly. The chicken is cooked just right, and so is the pork filling inside and they are seasoned perfectly, so that everything tastes amazing!
I also love how they look quite deceptively like drumsticks. 🙂 Except when you bite into it, it’s all cheesy, meaty goodness. So make no bones about it, these boneless stuffed chicken wings are so easy to make (I apologize again). How much would your family love these? How great would they be at a party or on game day? So whatcha waiting for? Get that recipe, watch that video, and get right to it.
I have ALWAYS loved deboned chicken! I deboned my first whole chicken in 2008 for a Christmas dinner with my family. The first chicken roast dinner I made for my husband was a deboned and stuffed chicken. Our first thanksgiving was a deboned and stuffed chicken too 🙂
So the next step was for me to debone and stuff chicken wings!

Sandy says
Can these be made ahead and frozen.
Dini says
Hi Sandy
Once the chicken wings are fried, if they are frozen the cheese will also harden and you will need to reheat really well to get the cheese to be melty again.
I haven’t frozen the uncooked chicken before, but I have kept in the fridge for upto 2 days. But I still bread it before frying.
I hope that helps.
Derek says
these look awesome Dini! I love the shape of them. It makes a huge difference. Way to go!
hina says
amazing I love the creativity of your cooking
Dini says
Thank you Hina! Hope you get a chance to try them out 🙂
tentimestea says
Amazing videos Dini! (I haven’t visited your blog in a while–is this something new? I love them!!) You’re quite a magician when it comes to manipulating chicken wings, especially clever ways to create a cavity for stuffing and a convenient handle as well 🙂
Angie says
Amazing!! You ARE amazing!! I never even knew you could debone chicken wings! The video was definitely very educational to me. More, please! 🙂 🙂 5-star recipe definitely!
Mila says
Even though I’m against deep-fried food, this chicken wings look very tasty! 😀
Dini says
Thank you Mila! 🙂 You could bake it too actually… the cheese is more likely to ooze out though. However I have baked these without stuffing! Comes out beautifully crunchy because of the panko crumbs 🙂
Hilda says
Wow! I never knew this was even possible, but I am always learning so much at these FF parties. And that sauce looks amazing. Thanks for the superb instructions on making these.
Dini says
Thank you so much Hilda! 🙂 I taught myself how to do this when I was in uni, and deboned chicken wings are officially my favourite way of making wings 🙂 I hope you try them and love it as much as I do!
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says

Liz says
Wonderful treats for Superbowl Sunday. You make it look easy but I’ve done a similiar dish in the past and I am sure the men folk would not appreciate the work!
Dini says
Thank you Liz 🙂 Thankfully, the men folk here seem to like it 🙂 My husband loves the deboned version more than the regular wings, and even likes to get involved in making it! If he didn’t appreciate it, I would still make them for myself though 😉 hahaha!
Mila furman says
Dini! What in the world?!? This is so fantastic!!! If I was still a meat eater I would be all over it!! Just delicious!
Dini says
Thank you Mila!! 😀 I have to admit that I do go weak in the knees for anything with cheese in it 😉
jane @ littlesugarsnaps says
