Finger Lickin' Chicken

What cures that awful feeling the morning after too many margaritas? FRIED FOOD!

What makes someone who eats gluten free cringe? FRIED FOOD!

We were hungover. Our Snoopy waffles didn't quite do the trick, so we needed to feed the craving for dinner. We went back to the well with some sweet potato fries (with the addition of a round of broiling to increase the crispy factor) and paired them with a small salad and CHICKEN FINGERS! (All caps means we are excited)

We used some gluten free all-purpose baking flour and crushed tortilla chips to bread a sliced chicken breast, fried them up, and dug right in. Much like our spring roll mozzarella sticks, this dish brought a sense of normalcy to Brittany's diet. We made a lovely barbecue sauce to go with them and had a great Saturday night!

Ingredients

Before frying

1 large chicken breast, sliced into smaller pieces
3/4 cup gluten free all-purpose baking flour
1 egg beaten
1 to 1.5 cups crushed tortilla chips

Recipe
Standard breading steps:
1. Coat the chicken in flour by rolling it aroun in the flour bowl.
2. Transfer to the egg wash, coat thoroughly.
3. Roll in crushed tortilla chips.*

After frying

4. Pan fry over medium heat in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through.

* A real jerk once taught me two important things about breading:
1. Keep one hand out of the breading process, in order to make handling things easier, so that you can:
2. Add the bread (tortilla) crumbs slowly to prevent excessive caking and waste.
Don't be fooled. Hayes is still a jerk. Peter is awesome.

Sierra was sneaking in the background, waiting for her chance to steal a finger.

Pair this with a killer BBQ sauce, a small salad, and a whiskey-ginger.
