Gluten-Free Oven Fried Cajun Popcorn Chicken Recipe Details

STEP ONE

Mix the chicken with some buttermilk, a little salt, and freshly minced garlic. 

STEP TWO

Then, make the crispy coating. In this recipe, I used gluten-free cornflakes. To make the crumbs, add the cornflakes to a food processor and pulse until they become the texture of fine bread crumbs. The cornflakes give the chicken that crispy southern fried chicken texture.

STEP THREE

Then, add the seasoning. The flavourful cajun seasoning is the key! I also added cheddar cheese to the coating. This helps it stick to the chicken as the cheese melts. Once you roll the chicken pieces in the coating, they are ready to be baked.

It’s a very simple recipe. This is also an egg-free crispy chicken recipe.

STEP FOUR

The creamy feta sauce 

You simply can’t have popcorn chicken without a delicious creamy dipping sauce. I wanted to keep the  flavor of the sauce mild because the popcorn chicken was already spiced. The dipping sauce has only four ingredients: sour cream, garlic, olive oil, and feta cheese.

 This Cajun Popcorn Chicken Recipe is Gluten and Egg-Free

You can enjoy this cajun popcorn chicken for an easy weeknight meal or snack. The creamy feta sauce compliments the popcorn chicken because it balances the heat from the spices on the chicken. It may even become a favorite chicken dish.
