Crunchy Gluten Free Fried Chicken

"This is easy, doesn't make a big mess, and is probably the best fried chicken I have ever made. You would never guess it was gluten free! Measurements are estimated and the seasonings are optional. Just use enough for the amount of chicken you have."

directions

  • Mix together the milk, lemon juice, and hot wing sauce in a medium sized bowl. Add chicken and let marinate while preparing the flour mixture.
  • Preheat about an inch of oil on medium high.
  • Put the dry ingredients in a large zip lock bag and shake.
  • Put 1 or 2 pieces of chicken at a time in bag and shake until well covered.
  • When oil is hot, add 3 or 4 tenderloins at a time and cook until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels. Use an oven-safe plate to keep the first batch warm in the oven on about 170 degrees.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces. I like the hot wing sauce and ranch.
  • You could make a cream gravy using the leftover seasoned flour. For example, melt 3 tablespoons butter, add 3 tablespoons flour mixture and cook for a few minutes, add 1-1/2 to 2 cups milk and stir until bubbly.

Reviews

  1. This was great. My family couldn't stop eating it. So much flavor but not to hot because my 4 year old would have gripped about it and not ate any of it. She was asking for thirds. I used Cajun seasoning for the spice mix and I think it really added even more flavor. I cut up thawed frozen chicken breast pieces for the tenders because that is what I had on hand. I also put the tenders in the milk bath a few hours before and put it in the fridge to chill. We ate everything up so fast I didn't even have time to take a picture.
     
  2. Instant success, rated by a discriminating 24 year old who loves fried chicken. Next time, will use boneless chicken thighs.
