Gluten-Free Baked Fried Chicken with crispy skin and smokey fried chicken flavor. Most people I know love fried chicken. When I was a kid many households had fried chicken for Sunday supper. I always enjoy it when I can get my family to sit down to eat dinner together. Incredibly, this recipe makes fried chicken healthier without losing any of the flavors.Baked Fried Chicken and dipped but not baked chicken on a tray

Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had was dipped in buttermilk. Buttermilk allows the breading to stick to the chicken better. For instance, buttermilk has fats and acids which help make the skin crispy. However, since my daughter and son have issues digesting milk I use coconut milk. Simply add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to coconut milk and set aside (this will make it coconut buttermilk). Additionally, I add some of my Hickory BBQ Sauce to add another level of flavor.

Besides the coconut buttermilk adding additional flavor I also add a little of my BBQ Seasonings to elevate the flavor of the chicken. Not to mention that this fried chicken is just as good the following day. In other words, make a big batch to take on a picnic or bring to a church potluck. Perfect with Dairy-Free Coleslaw and Homemade Ketchup or Hickory BBQ Sauce.

In any case, your family will be sad to see the chicken disappear. Gluten-Free Baked Fried Chicken is indeed, flavorful without the greasy feel. My package of 5 lbs. of chicken contained 6 legs and 6 thighs. Therefore, one serving is one leg and one thigh.

Unsweetened Coconut Milk can be found on Amazon.
