Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Dill pickle juice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 pieces Gluten-free hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Sliced pickles
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets, making a total of 4 pieces.
In a large bowl, combine pickle juice and milk. Add chicken cutlets to the brine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
In another bowl, whisk the egg. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing down to adhere the coating on all sides.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Lightly toast the gluten-free buns in a dry skillet or toaster.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf and 2 pickles slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your gluten-free Chick-fil-A style chicken sandwich!
