Homemade -GFDF- Fried Chicken!

Today we had a couple brother-in-laws over after church.
I had a hankerin for fried chicken! KFC is not an option... so, what to do?

Make some! None of us are crazy about chicken on the bone, so we went to the store and picked up some boneless breasts and also some sweet-potato fries.

I used to fry chicken before Ian & I got married, but Mom had a special low-carb recipe she used, and I didn't want to go get the ingredients for that, so got home and looked online for a how-to. Found this:

Adapted as follows:
Things You'll Need:
2 lb chicken
1 cup Rice Dream milk (original)
1 egg
1 cup flour (I combined Rice Flour and Potato Flour. Just plain rice flour would be fine too)
1 T salt
1 tsp Pepper
Enough shortening/vegetable oil to cover (or mostly cover) chicken pieces in fryer)
I used our "fry daddy" - mini fryer. I fit about  3-4 tenderloins (or 1 breast cut into smaller pieces to ensure they'd cook thoroughly) in at once.

  • So here are the steps.


    1) In one bowl, mix egg and Rice Dream. Set aside
    2) In another bowl, mix flour(s), salt, pepper. Set aside
    3) Start heating oil in the Fry Daddy or skillet
    4) Cut chicken into smaller, even pieces.
     5) Dip chicken pieces into egg mix, cover well, then roll it around in the flour mix, covering well.
    6) Carefully put coated chicken into hot oil. (Mine was set to 350* and it worked great)
    7) Cook till golden, tasty, brown!

    Enjoy!
    I don't like ketchup, so I mixed mine with my homemade Ranch dressing.
    Here's the recipe I used... Substituting the sour cream for Dairy-Free sour cream Tofutti brand is good. Everything else stayed the same and it was delightful!

    P.S. The guys thought it was great! (I did too) :)
