Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 2 cups Oil for frying
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free hot sauce
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 Celery sticks
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil and fry in batches for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
While the chicken is frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stirring in the gluten-free hot sauce.
Step 8
Once the chicken strips are done, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Transfer the fried chicken strips to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over them, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 10
Serve the gluten-free Buffalo chicken with celery sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.
