Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 120 grams Gluten-free flour
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Oil for frying
Instructions
Place the chicken breast fillets in a shallow dish.
In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight for best results.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, gluten-free breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. One at a time, remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk mixture and let any excess drip off.
Dredge the chicken in the prepared flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure an even coat.
Heat oil in a deep, heavy skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully place the coated chicken fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free zinger fillets hot, with your favorite dipping sauces or in a gluten-free bun with fresh lettuce and mayonnaise.
