I have missed that cripsy, fried chicken since going gluten free. Granted, I rarely ever had fried foods but when you can’t have them anymore unless you make them yourself…you suddenly start to miss things. Like dairy for instance, I’m on a limited dairy diet, and I miss it.
Really, I could use a huge glass of milk.
Back to the chicken, can you tell I’m day dreaming?
This recipe started off as an adaption of Cooking Light Chicken Piccata. The main adaption I made from the original recipe was to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast; however, this increased my cook time so one adaption lead to another and then I ended up with a completely different recipe!
The chicken though turned out so crispy and delicious that I just had to share it with all of you. Essentially, you could make this with any part of the chicken; however, I think the skin on thighs give it more of that juicy, crispy taste.
This is perfect for Sunday dinner or today’s!
Enjoy!
