How to make the recipe free from
This recipe uses some of the top allergens but here is how you can easily adapt this dish to your dietary restrictions:
- Corn: This recipe uses half rice flour and half corn flour for coating the chicken, but you can substitute the corn flour for more rice flour.
- Egg: The marinade requires one egg in it, you can substitute it with your favorite egg replacer or leaveit out. The sauce is made with mayonnaise but since I do not use mayonnaise, I substituted it with dairy free cream.
- Soy: I have also used a tablespoon of soy sauce, leave it out if you are allergic. Adjust the taste with adding more salt to taste, if needed.
- All purpose Flour: use equal amount of your favorite gluten free all purpose flour blend.
