Best Baked Chicken GF
This recipe tastes so good, you’d never know it was so simple. (Plus it’s gluten free without sacrificing flavor!)
It’s perfect for a small meal or a large gathering. Just increase flour by 1 cup for every 6 pieces of chicken.
You’ll need:
6 pieces, your preference, skinless, uncooked chicken pieces (Boneless, skinless thighs work great. If chicken is on the bone, baking time will be a bit longer.)
½ Cup organic white rice flour
½ Cup organic brown rice flour (may also use sweet brown rice flour)
1 tsp. Sea salt OR to taste
Dash of black pepper, optional
Olive oil
Several Tbls. non-hydrogenated margarine OR butter
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil. (Size of pan will depend on how many pieces of chicken you’re baking.)
2. Place flour in a plastic zipper bag. Place several pieces of chicken in the bag at a time and thoroughly coat each with flour. Arrange chicken in a single layer in baking dish. (They can be crowded.)
3. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper over chicken in pan. Place about a tsp. of margarine OR butter on each piece of chicken. Bake for approximately 1 hour, turning each piece over once halfway through baking time to ensure even browning.
Enjoy!
(Hint: Bake potatoes while chicken is baking and they’ll be ready at the same time.)
Use boneless skinless chicken (cut in bite sized pieces) to make chicken Niblets for the kids!
Bake Niblets for 20-30 minutes, until the pieces easily pull apart.
