• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 12 pieces Gluten-free slider buns or rolls
• 0 Gluten-free cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Allow to bloom for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and egg. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Marinate with buttermilk, covering the bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with gluten-free cooking spray.

Step 7

In a shallow dish, mix gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.

Step 8

Coat each chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake the chicken for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat to make the glaze.

Step 11

Brush the insides of gluten-free slider buns or rolls with the honey butter glaze.

Step 12

Place a piece of baked chicken inside each bun, drizzling with additional honey butter if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Gluten-Free Chicken Minis!
