Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1.5 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 pieces Gluten-free hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for slaw)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for slaw)

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) using a meat mallet or rolling pin, then cut each piece in half for even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Step 4

In a third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Drain on a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce to make a spicy mayo. Set aside.

Step 9

In another bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to prepare the slaw. Mix well and let it sit for a few minutes to soften.

Step 10

Toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in a skillet or toaster until lightly browned.

Step 11

Assemble the sandwich by spreading spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun, layering on the fried chicken, adding a generous scoop of slaw, and topping with the other half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Spicy Chicken Sandwich!
