Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 120 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, fry-like strips, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum tenderness.
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dip them into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken strips into the flour mixture, pressing the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Set a large frying pan on the stove and add the vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of bread sizzles upon contact.
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, without crowding the pan, and fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy chicken fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
