Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast tenders
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast tenders in a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl or dish, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.
Step 4
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk. Dip each piece first into the flour mixture to coat, then into the eggs, and finally into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Step 6
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Gently add the chicken fingers to the hot oil, cooking a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each chicken finger for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
