Coating chicken & bake
- Coat chicken with potato starch or potato flour.
- Dip your coated chicken in egg mix, then shake off any excess egg.
- Finally, coat the chicken with rice crumbs. Make sure it's well coated then set aside.
- Put your chicken on a sheet of baking paper and on a grill rack.
- Grill for 12-15 mins on one side. Then flip over and grill for another 10-12 mins depending on how golden you want your chicken to be.
- Your chicken is ready! You can have it with some fresh salad leaves, or with some baked potatoes or quinoa. You can also have it as a snack!
NOTES
- Feel free to use your preferred flour for coating. You can try rice flour, tapioca starch, or just regular wheat flour for those who can tolerate gluten.
- Rice crumbs are gluten free, but you can use panko crumbs too.
- You don't have to toast the rice crumbs if you're in a rush. It gives a beautiful golden finish without having to bake your chicken in the oven for a long time. Baking your chicken in the oven for a long period of time will dry out your chicken.
- Feel free to spray some oil on the chicken if you want to get a quick golden finish and skip the toasting process.
- You can use paprika or other spices of choice.
- This recipe doesn't require any oil but feel free to use some if you wish to.
