How do you make Gluten-Free Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken?

The only swap needed is the flour, simply swap the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour. This needs to be a 1:1 swap. We prefer to use Better Batter; however, King Arthur and Cup 4 Cup work well too.

This is the only switch you will need but as always be sure to check all ingredients first.

What type of chicken should you use?

This recipe will use a whole chicken; however, it needs to be cut.

It’s best to request to have it cut at the meat counter or butcher. They can easily cut through the bones and give you individual cuts of chicken from your chicken fryer.

This can be done though with skin-on chicken thighs or chicken breast too. This recipe though does use skin-on chicken.

Steps

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Line a baking dish with foil and grease it as well to avoid the skin sticking to the dish.

Place the flour in a bowl and set aside.

Next mix the cheese, salt, oregano, and basil in a separate dish.

Take each piece of chicken and coat with the flour then pat with the cheese mixture and place on the greased dish.

This will need to bake 30 minutes, then turn the chicken and bake an additional 30 minutes until well browned. The internal temperature needs to be at least 165°F to be considered done, we prefer to go closer to 175°F.
