Crispy Gluten-free Southern Fried Chicken. Many of us love fried chicken, especially when coated in a tasty, crispy coating? This gluten-free fried chicken is coated in a light egg-free buttermilk batter seasoned with spices in this Southern recipe. The chicken is so so good!

I added flaxseed to the batter to give the chicken that extra crispy coating without using eggs. Flaxseed is a healthy, nutrient-packed seed, making this fried chicken slightly healthier.

healthier gluten-free fried chicken,

To keep this chicken recipe on the healthier side, the chicken is first flash-fried and then baked, allowing 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. Your family will never know that this tasty, crispy fried chicken is gluten-free. For delicious gluten-free chicken recipes, click here->
