Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 2 cups Oil for frying
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free hot sauce
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 Celery sticks
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing
Instructions
Start by slicing the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture.
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil and fry in batches for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stirring in the gluten-free hot sauce.
Once the chicken strips are done, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Transfer the fried chicken strips to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over them, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.
Serve the gluten-free Buffalo chicken with celery sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.
