Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Place the chicken pieces into a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Stir to ensure the chicken is evenly coated, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until smooth, and set aside.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Take each piece of chicken, dip it into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally back into the flour mixture. Repeat this process for all chicken pieces.
In a deep pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough for the chicken bites to be fully submerged.
Carefully place a few chicken bites into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in small batches for about 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken bites are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked chicken bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken bites.
Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
