Description

Gluten free crispy fried chicken with a healthy honey mustard sauce!


Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken

  • Oil for frying (I used a high heat olive oil)
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast cutlets
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp: black pepper, paprika, garlic, and onion powder
  • 1 + 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups gluten free panko style bread crumbs

For the Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grainy dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Cayenne powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut cutlets into 2-3 pieces (I like to make these pieces more irregular/not perfectly uniform, but still similar in size for even cooking). Set aside. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In one shallow bowl, mix brown rice flour, corn starch, and seasonings. Stir in buttermilk (batter will be thick).
  3. In another shallow bowl, add your bread crumbs.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken into the wet batter, let some excess drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on your lined baking pan.
  5. Heat about 1/2” of oil in a pan until 350°F reached (oil should be glossy and very hot).
  6. Drop in 2-3 pieces of chicken at a time carefully. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip. Cook until chicken reaches 165F internal temp. If browning too quickly, reduce heat a bit.
  7. Repeat with all chicken. Meanwhile, whisk together sauce ingredients. Serve and enjoy!
