Gluten Free Fried Chicken Strips Lodge Cast Iron Recipes

BEST GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Put all ingredients (except chicken) into a bowl and whisk until fluffy.
• Put the raw chicken into a large dish and pour the marinade over the butchered chicken.
• Move chicken around to make sure all of the raw chicken is all covered in the marinade.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Drain marinaded chicken in a large strainer.
• Place chicken in the tapioca flour and toss it around to cover the whole piece of chicken.
• Let the chicken rest 2-3 minutes on a baking pan.
• Gently heat oil in a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet. If you have a deep fryer, that is great! I would use that instead. The oil should be 350-375 F degrees before adding the chicken pieces.
• Fry the chicken for 10 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken to cook the other side another 10 minutes. (Do this if you are not fully submerging your chicken in the hot oil. After you cook each side of the chicken, check the internal temperature of 165 F degrees. The total cook time would be around 20 minutes, but it depends on the cut of chicken you are using. If you are deep frying the chicken it will take less time for your chicken to cook.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

GLUTEN-FREE FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preparing to cook: Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lay down a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
• Making the batter: Whisk together the buttermilk, paprika, garlic power, and onion powder. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir.
• Making the flour: Whisk together a pinch each of salt and pepper, flour mix, and smoked paprika.
• Dipping the chicken: Set a large cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. As the pan is heating, line up the chicken, the bowl of batter, and the spiced flour. Pour the oil into the hot pan.
• Frying the chicken: When the oil has reached 375 degrees F, dip a piece of chicken in the batter. Shake off any excess liquid. Dip the chicken in the flour and coat it entirely. Place the chicken in the hot oil. Repeat with all the pieces of chicken.
• Don't overcrowd the pan. You can always do this in two batches.
• Flip the chicken pieces when the bottoms are nicely browned. When both sides are browned, put the chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Finishing the chicken: When all the chicken has been browned and laid on the baking sheet, put the baking sheet in the oven. Cook the chicken until the legs have reached an internal temperature of 185 degrees F and the breasts measure 155 degrees F.
• Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.
