Fried chicken is definitely one of those "special occasion," foods, but it sure is tasty! I love how moist and flavorful it is. When eating gluten free, why should you not be able to enjoy fried chicken as well?
Instead of bread crumbs, I used rice cakes. I was a little bit worried that the flavor(or lack thereof) would through off the flavor of the chicken, but it didn't at all. Who knew gluten free chicken could taste so good?

4. Dip the chicken in the flour mixture and dredge both sides. Then, dip the chicken in the egg wash til completely coated. Finally, dip the chicken into the breading mixture, completely cover the entire breast, and pat lightly to secure. Complete this step with the remaining chicken.
