BePure-Friendly Fried Chicken, Original and Extra Crunchy

Serves 6 | GF, DF

Original Fried Chicken

Ingredients

• 6 chicken drumsticks 
• ½ C gluten free flour
  We use buckwheat flour or brown rice flour
• 3 - 4 Tbsp of spices of your choice
  We like using combos such as smoked paprika, turmeric and a little ground chilli
• Salt and pepper
• Extra virgin, cold pressed oil

Directions

1. Heat oven to 200ºC on fan bake. Grease or line an oven tray.
2. Mix flour, spices and salt and pepper in a bowl or on a plate.
3. Roll the drumsticks in the mix until they’re really well coated
4. and place them in the oven tray with a wee gap in between each.
5. Drizzle a few big glugs of oil to the drummies—you do need a decent amount of oil all over them to make sure they’re nice and crispy. Make sure you get both sides.
6. Pop them in the oven for about 30 - 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and nice and crispy.
