Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 egg
• 1 cup club soda
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the club soda until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature is maintained.

Step 6

Dip each piece of chicken into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to prevent overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry each batch for approximately 4-5 minutes or until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove chicken bites with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces or as part of your favorite gluten-free meal.
