My Ultimate Gluten Free KFC Recipe (low FODMAP, dairy free)
My gluten free KFC recipe tastes just like real KFC and it's dairy free and low FODMAP too!
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 6 skinless boneless chicken thighs
- Garlic-infused olive oil for frying
- 1 egg for coating your chicken
For your spice blend
- 110 g plain gluten free flour
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp sage
- 2 tsp basil
- 2 tsp marjoram
- 4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp asafoetida or onion powder if you don't care about FODMAP
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200c.
- Start creating your spice blend by mixing all the dry ingredients in a big mixing bowl.
- Beat an egg in a separate bowl too.
- Heat some garlic-infused olive oil in a frying pan at a medium heat. There should be enough oil to thinly cover the entire frying pan.
- Take a skinless, boneless chicken thigh, dunk it in the beaten egg mixture, then roll it in the spice mixture bowl until well coated.
- At this point, you could deep-fry the chicken until golden. If shallow-frying, place the coated chicken thigh into your garlic-infused olive oil in a frying pan.
- Fry it for about 30 seconds each side. Bear in mind that you don't want the coating to look all nice and golden like in the photos yet. We're not trying to cook the chicken or the coating here either, we're just sealing it until no floury patches are left.
- Flip it over and add a little more garlic-infused olive oil if the pan is looking dry. Be generous!
- Once both sides look yellow with no white floury patches, place on a baking try and repeat for all other chicken thighs.
- Then place in the oven at 200c for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.
Notes
If you fry your coated chicken too long and they look nice and golden before they even go in the oven, they'll likely come out looking a little darker than you'd like!
The more coated chicken you fry with the same oil, the more your frying pan will begin to become a little bit sludgy-looking from all the flour. If you intend to fry more than 6 pieces of chicken in the same oil, I'd recommend wiping all the sludgy bits out half way with kitchen roll first. Do it before they start burning and smoking!
