Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free cornflakes
• 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 4 pieces Gluten-free burger buns
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the mixture, turning to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, place the gluten-free cornflakes into a sealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin or use a food processor.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, place the gluten-free flour and set aside.

Step 5

Beat the eggs in another shallow dish.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 7

Dredge each piece of chicken first in the gluten-free flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the crushed cornflakes, pressing to adhere.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 9

Fry the chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Toast the gluten-free buns in a separate clean pan or toaster until lightly crispy.

Step 12

Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.

Step 13

Place the fried chicken on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, then top with the other half of the bun.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gluten-free KFC Zinger Burger.
