In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken thigh into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated chicken on a wire rack and let sit for 15 minutes to set the coating.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Carefully add the chicken thighs to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary, and cook for 12-15 minutes per side or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels.
To make the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in 1/4 cup of the reserved gluten-free flour mixture until it forms a paste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the fried chicken hot with the gravy on the side or poured over.
