Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 120 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 60 g Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, fry-like strips, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum tenderness.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 5
Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dip them into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully coated.
Step 6
Transfer the egg-coated chicken strips into the flour mixture, pressing the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Step 7
Set a large frying pan on the stove and add the vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of bread sizzles upon contact.
Step 8
Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, without crowding the pan, and fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the chicken fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the gluten-free crispy chicken fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
