Gluten-Free Fried Chicken

To make crispy golden fried chicken without the gluten, use brown rice flour such as in this recipe. The brown rice flour batter not only makes the skin crispy and golden, it also adds a nutty flavor to the dish. Salt, pepper, and lemon pepper are mixed in with the brown rice flour to make the chicken recipes tastier. The chicken pieces are dredged in the plain brown rice flour, then in beaten eggs and in seasoned brown rice flour before it is fried until golden and crispy.
