Gluten Free Fried Chicken

Ingredients
5lbs chicken leg quarters
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 cup coconut flour
Oil for frying

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Using your
hands, massage the spices into the chicken and be sure it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate
for at least 2 hours or overnight.

To prepare: Add the coconut flour to the seasoned chicken and toss well to coat. Heat oil about
2 inches deep in a large, heavy bottomed pan (cast iron is ideal or use a deep fryer if you have
one) to 375 degrees (F). Add chicken in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan or it won’t get crisp.

Cook for about 8 minutes per side, or until a rich, golden brown. Test with a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees. If you don’t have one, cut into a piece and make sure the meat isn’t pink before serving.
