Gluten Free Wendy's Spicy Chicken

Gluten free Wendy’s spicy chicken is here. Finally. I love, or loved rather, Wendy’s spicy chicken. It was my go-to on car trips or on long study nights when I was in university. This culinary classic is a beauty. Not for a Celiac, however. This twist on the spicy chicken will make your heart sing – just be sure you add mayo. Okay, let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/4 of a cup of gluten free flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 of a cup of rice breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon of franks red hot I used buffalo
  • 3 teaspoons of red chili powder
  • 1 cup of canola oil
  • 4 gluten free hamburger buns
  • 4-6 pieces of lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo

Instructions

  • First, gather all of your ingredients.
  • Lay out 3 bowls. In one, the flour and 1/2 the red chili powder. The next bowl, the raw egg whisked with the franks. Lastly, the third bowl gets the rice breadcrumbs and the rest of the chili powder.
  • In a large pan, pour in the canola oil and start to heat on low.
  • Cut each chicken breast into 3 or 4 (that's what Wendy's does, right?). Haha...I'm so funny.
  • Line your bowls up - flour, then egg and lastly rice breadcrumbs.
  • Take each piece of chicken and lightly cover in flour then dip in the egg. Step three, cover with rice breadcrumbs
  • Now, 3 pieces at a time - you don't want to crowd the pan - lay in the chicken into the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, yet turn every minute to prevent burning.
  • Let them cool on some paper towel for about 1 minute
  • Get your buns ready (gluten free, of course).
  • Load with mayo and lettuce. Oh, and eat with steak fries! Done. Time to eat.
