Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 2 cups Oil for frying
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free hot sauce
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 Celery sticks
• 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil and fry in batches for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

While the chicken is frying, prepare the Buffalo sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then stirring in the gluten-free hot sauce.

Step 8

Once the chicken strips are done, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Transfer the fried chicken strips to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over them, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free Buffalo chicken with celery sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.
