Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Heat enough oil to 350ºF in an electric skillet or fryer to cover the chicken pieces.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts in half or strips. I cut mine in half in the pictures, but strips also work well. Generously salt and pepper the chicken.

Step 3

Mix the eggs and milk beverage in a bowl, and place the flour in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Dip the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture and then back in the flour to evenly coat each piece. Place the coated pieces on a sheet pan as you work and while you wait for the oil to come to temperature.

Step 5

Place chicken pieces in the hot oil and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170 degrees on an instant read thermometer (your best friend while cooking meat). Flipping halfway through. It took about 25 minutes for a half chicken breast. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel lined platter. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
