Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Gluten-free cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until smooth.
3. Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and season them with the remaining teaspoon of salt.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep fryer or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Dredge each chicken drumstick in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat once more with the flour mixture.
6. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken drumsticks in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until it is golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain away excess oil.
8. For the honey garlic sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the honey, minced garlic, gluten-free soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
9. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
10. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the warm crispy fried chicken before serving. Optionally, serve additional sauce on the side for dipping.
