Could you give the egg and yogurt proportions? Thanks!

This is a great dish! It has been forever since I've had FRIED chicken. I was surprised how easy it was and how well the bread crumb mixture stuck to the chicken. I did improvise a bit on the seasonings, but just because I didn't have all of the ones called for in the recipe. This coconut oil has really made eating healthy so much more enjoyable!

When I saw a recipe for Gluten Free Fried Chicken I immediately "clicked"
I noticed that soy sauce was the first ingredient for the marinade. I am not sure that you are aware of this or if perhaps this is a different
I am always looking for G/F recipes and items as my cousins 2 year old son has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.
Thank You for the lovely recipe, I will send this to her with a note for using soy sauce substitue

Um...were you referring to this recipe: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/recipe_Gluten_Free_Fried_Chicken.htm ? This one here is not gluten free (bread crumbs).

We generally do not use soy in our recipes. The ones we accept are the traditionally fermented products like soy sauce, which is traditionally fermented for over 6 months before consuming. We are all about "traditional" foods, and traditional soy products used for thousands of years in Asia are generally fermented. But one should always use an organic fermented soy sauce, as most of the soy crop in the U.S. today is genetically modified. You can substitute salt for the soy sauce if you don't want to use it, and just increase the other liquid ingredients to make up for it. It'll still turn out great. :)

Look closely in your supermarket for wheat free soy sauce. My wife is gluten intolerant and as long as we use a wheat-free soy she is fine.

La Choy soy sauce is gluten free and is easily found in your grocery store. My daughter has Celiac and I use it in different recipes for her.

I had organic free range chicken thighs on hand that I used for this. It was an awesome recipe! Thanks so much:)

There is also a great tasting Wheat Free (gluten-free) Tamari Sauce by San-J.

What can I substitute for the eggs? I can't have eggs or dairy.

I would think buttermilk or plain yogurt would work pretty well in place of eggs.

What could I use in place of coconut water vinegar? I have all the other ingredients!
# Posted By KELLY | 8/17/10 7:26 PM
Kelly: Apple cider vinegar will work, but if you get the chance order some coconut water vinegar and give it a try! It's great for so many things.

I used rice vinegar in place of the coconut vinegar because I didn't have any. I also used Organic Wheat-Free Soy Sauce-this recipe was super good-a family favorite. I hadn't done fried chicken in a couple years. This recipe will be a regular with this coconut flour/oil from now on!!
