Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 240 ml Buttermilk
• 120 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 60 g Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 500 ml Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin, fry-like strips, aiming for uniform thickness for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the chicken strips in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for maximum tenderness.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dip them into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully coated.

Step 6

Transfer the egg-coated chicken strips into the flour mixture, pressing the flour mixture onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.

Step 7

Set a large frying pan on the stove and add the vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of bread sizzles upon contact.

Step 8

Carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil, without crowding the pan, and fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the chicken fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free crispy chicken fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
