• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Step 4

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 5

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 9

Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Do not overcrowd the skillet.

Step 10

Remove the chicken bites to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and mix it with the buffalo sauce over low heat, stirring until well combined.
