Crunchy Gluten Free Fried Chicken

Ingredients

• 8 chicken tenders
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
• 1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce
• 1 cup gluten-free baking mix (I used Bob's Red Mill pancake mix)
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1 tablespoon seasoning salt or preferred mixed herbs
• 1 inch peanut oil

Directions

1. 1

   Mix together the milk, lemon juice, and hot wing sauce in a medium sized bowl. Add chicken and let marinate while preparing the flour mixture.

2. 2

   Preheat about an inch of oil on medium high.

3. 3

   Put the dry ingredients in a large zip lock bag and shake.

4. 4

   Put 1 or 2 pieces of chicken at a time in bag and shake until well covered.

5. 5

   When oil is hot, add 3 or 4 tenderloins at a time and cook until golden brown.

6. 6

   Drain on paper towels. Use an oven-safe plate to keep the first batch warm in the oven on about 170 degrees.

7. 7

   Serve with your favorite dipping sauces. I like the hot wing sauce and ranch.

8. 8

   You could make a cream gravy using the leftover seasoned flour. For example, melt 3 tablespoons butter, add 3 tablespoons flour mixture and cook for a few minutes, add 1-1/2 to 2 cups milk and stir until bubbly.
