Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dairy-free buttermilk (or regular buttermilk)
2 cups gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
3 cups frying oil (sunflower, canola, or avocado oil)
Instructions
Combine flour, cornstarch, coriander, paprika, granulated garlic, and salt in a bowl.
Coat chicken cubes in the flour mixture thoroughly.
Dip floured chicken into dairy-free buttermilk until fully coated.
Roll chicken in gluten-free panko breadcrumbs to cover completely.
Heat frying oil in a skillet (or deep fryer) to 350°F (175°C). Fry nuggets in batches until golden and crispy (5-7 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
Notes
Use regular buttermilk if dairy is allowed.
Double panko coating for extra crunch.
Adjust spices to taste (add cayenne for heat or herbs like thyme).
