Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk. Submerge the chicken fillets in the buttermilk, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes to tenderize the chicken.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
Spread the gluten-free breadcrumbs on a large plate.
Remove each chicken fillet from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off.
Dip the chicken fillets into the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
Dip the flour-coated chicken fillets into the beaten eggs, making sure each piece is completely covered.
Press the chicken fillets into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Alternatively, if you have a deep-fryer, use that.
Carefully place the coated chicken fillets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Transfer the fried chicken fillets to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free crispy fried chicken fillets!
