Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into even, thin strips about 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This will tenderize the chicken and keep it moist.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the coating mixture.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Dredge the chicken strips in the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and finally coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for best results.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, carefully place 3-4 chicken strips into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining chicken strips.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or as part of a main meal.
