Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free cornflakes
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 4 pieces Gluten-free burger buns
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, turning to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, place the gluten-free cornflakes into a sealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin or use a food processor.
In a separate shallow dish, place the gluten-free flour and set aside.
Beat the eggs in another shallow dish.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
Dredge each piece of chicken first in the gluten-free flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the crushed cornflakes, pressing to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry the chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Toast the gluten-free buns in a separate clean pan or toaster until lightly crispy.
Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.
Place the fried chicken on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gluten-free KFC Zinger Burger.
