Gluten-Free Kentucky Fried Chicken™-Style Coating

Recipe Description

I have been trying for ages to replicate Kentucky Fried Chicken™-Style Coating and I think I’ve finally cracked it! Even better, I’ve come up with a gluten-free version. One of my close friends is gluten intolerant and one of the things she misses most is fried chicken because most of the recipes use flour, which is a source of gluten. So I challenged myself to come up with a gluten-free chicken coating just for her. The secret is to use corn flour instead.

To the corn flour, I mix some salt, garlic powder, dry mustard and a variety of other spices like paprika, ginger, thyme, basil and oregano. I shake it all together and use it to coat pieces of chicken. My friend was so happy and I now use this mix any time I am cooking my take on Kentucky Fried Chicken.

To make the Gluten-Free Kentucky Fried Chicken™-Style Coating, you will need the following ingredients:
