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.
