Easy and Delicious: A Perfect Gluten-Free Chicken Dish

This honey garlic chicken is as easy as it gets! Here’s a simple breakdown of how to make this irresistible dish.

How to Make Gluten-Free Honey Garlic Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start with your chicken pieces. First, dip the chicken in eggs to create a wet coating. This will help the dry ingredients stick. For the coating, mix gluten-free flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Coat each piece of chicken well with the flour mixture.

Step 2: Bake for Crispy Perfection
Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet and bake at a high temperature (400°F/200°C). This will give the chicken that satisfying crispy crunch on the outside, without the need for deep frying.

Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. It’s incredibly simple: combine tamari sauce, garlic, honey, and (if you like a little heat) some gluten-free sriracha sauce in a saucepan. Cook the sauce for about 3 minutes.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken in Sauce
Once the chicken is golden and crispy, toss it in the honey garlic sauce. This step ensures each piece is perfectly coated and packed with flavor.

Step 5: Garnish
Finish off by sprinkling the chicken with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for a burst of freshness and crunch.

Appetizer or Main Dish? You Decide!

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can serve it as an appetizer for a party or gathering, or make it a light meal by pairing it with a fresh salad or serving it over rice. For me, I love to enjoy it with Indian Lemon Rice because the flavors complement each other perfectly!
