Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1.5 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 pieces Gluten-free hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for slaw)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for slaw)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) using a meat mallet or rolling pin, then cut each piece in half for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Drain on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce to make a spicy mayo. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to prepare the slaw. Mix well and let it sit for a few minutes to soften.
Toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in a skillet or toaster until lightly browned.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun, layering on the fried chicken, adding a generous scoop of slaw, and topping with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Spicy Chicken Sandwich!
