Gluten Free Chicken Strips

Just a quick post to share a recipe I'm working on. London wanted chicken strips for dinner, so I had to gluten free my usual fried chicken recipe.

1 c. gluten free flour (I use a premade all- purpose blend from the store)
1 clove garlic (finely minced)
1/8 c. dried onion
1/2 c. mashed potato flakes
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Mix flour, spices, garlic, onion, and potato flakes in a gallon size bag.

Slice 1 lb chicken cutlets into one inch strips and set aside.

Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk until well blended.

Coat chicken strips four at a time in egg.

Drop coated chicken into flour mixture and shake until well coated.

Carefully place coated chicken into hot oil (I used bacon grease) about one inch deep.

Fry about five minutes on each side in medium high heat.

Repeat with the rest of the chicken until it is all cooked.

Place fried chicken onto oven sheet and bake at 400* for about ten minutes. (You can skip this step if the strips are cooked all the way through, but I'm really paranoid about under-cooked chicken)

As always, feel free to let me know how it turned out for you or if the directions aren't clear. I welcome suggestions and variations as well!
