Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml Buttermilk
- 125 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 120 grams Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk with one teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken fillets and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, the remaining one teaspoon of salt, the rest of the black pepper, and the baking powder.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the two eggs with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Step 5
Remove the chicken fillets from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off.
Step 6
Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating. Dip each coated fillet into the egg wash, then return it to the flour mixture for a final coat. Press gently to help the flour adhere well.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
Step 8
Carefully place the fillets in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding, and fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Transfer the fried chicken fillets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite gluten-free sides or dips. Enjoy your crispy, gluten-free fried chicken fillet!
