Gluten Free Fried Chicken Tenders

Hi y'all. It's me Ashley B. today with a recipe for you.
Today I want to share how I make my Gluten free fried chicken tenders.

I love fried chicken. My oldest could eat it for every meal. It is also something I grew up eating, my moms chicken was perfection. It was one of the things people begged her to make. Never in a million years did I think I could pull of good fried chicken. Frying was scary and kinda hard. I overcooked and under cooked all at the same time when I first started. For the life of me I couldn't keep the temp on the oil right. Want to know what changed? What I did to finally get the frying process down? Her are two of my favorite tips:

1. Peanut Oil. For some reason it doesn't get to hot and I don't seem to burn things. It cooks more slowly so everything cooks evenly and all the way thru. I love it. Also my Mom is allergic to peanuts and can eat things I use it in. We did some testing before she ingested it. I had read somewhere that the allergens have been processed out of it to make oil...

2. The Frying Song. If you pay attention to the popping sound of the oil you will notice the sound changing from rapid pops to slower popping. When the "song" changes I take whatever I am frying out.

OK now onto the recipe and process

5 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (could also use thighs) cut into strips or nuggets

Dry Mix
2 cups Brown Rice Flour
1 tsp of:
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Old Bay Seasoning
2 tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Misses Dash

Wet Mix
2 cups Milk ( or dairy sub)
1 Egg

Frying oil of your choice ( use peanut oil if you can)

Heat oil in a pan on medium heat .

Mix all the Dry ingredients together in a big bowl. Dampen finger and dip it into dry mix and taste. This is to see if you are happy with the flavor. Does it need  more salt ect...

Whisk egg into milk in a medium bowl.


Dredge chicken in dry mix, then dip into wet mix, and back into dry mix.
Place on a tray and let it set for at least 5 minutes before placing it into hot oil.

Flip tenders over after a couple minutes and cook until golden brown.The thicker the pieces the longer the cook time and vice versa.

Place on a cookie sheet with a cooling rack. Hold chicken in a 200 degree oven while cooking other chicken.

And that is it guys. Frying takes practice. Make sure to try this out on a non hurried night if you are new to frying. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Love,
Ashley B
