Crispy Gluten-free Southern Fried Chicken. Many of us love fried chicken, especially when it is coated in a tasty, crispy coating? In this southern recipe, the chicken is coated in a light egg-free buttermilk batter seasoned with spices. I have also added flaxseed to the batter, which gives the chicken that crispy coating. To keep this chicken recipe on the healthier side, the chicken is first flash-fried and then baked, allowing for most of the oil to drain. My favourites to serve with chicken is Upside-Down Mac & Cheese Pie With Bacon or Vegan German Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 8 pieces of skinless chicken (thighs, drumstick or chicken breast strips)
  • 3 Tbsp. gluten-free ground flax seed
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tsp. GF baking powder (preferably aluminum-free)
  • 1 tsp. GF baking soda
  • 3 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp. GF garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. GF paprika
  • 1 tsp. GF ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. GF dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 cups coconut oil or grape seed oil

    • Instructions

  • Mix flax seed and water in a small bowl and set aside for 30 minutes
  • In a medium size bowl whisk together flax mixture, buttermilk, baking powder and baking soda until smooth
  • In separate bowl combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, oregano and salt
  • Dip chicken into buttermilk batter, drip off excess batter and roll in the flour mixture and repeat it one more time. Place on a tray until you are ready to cook the chicken
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Using a non-stick frying pan preheat the oil to medium heat, add chicken and cook 3 minutes per side. The coating of the chicken should be golden. Once this is done carefully transfer the chicken to a prepared baking tray and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 F
