Description
Transform a classic comfort food into a light and crunchy delight with this Gluten-Free Fried Chicken recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. To test if it’s ready, drop in a small pinch of flour; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
- Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Notes
For extra crispiness, consider double coating the chicken. Use oils with a high smoke point for frying.
