When I was diagnosed with allergies, whole courses of food seem to sprout wings and just fly out of my life! I was left with an impossible and unsafe choice…eat unsafe foods or watch others eat and wallow in sadness…
I had enough of sitting on the sidelines and watching others eat fried food. It has been more than 8 years since I’ve had fried chicken. Which is why when I was gifted an old Wesson Cookbook, the very first recipe I decided to break was Fried Chicken.
I couldn’t find a publication date on the inner flap, but it’s safe to say some of the best recipes in the world can be found within a cookbook of this age.
Do I know how to fry? No! I am skilled at many techniques, but frying is not one of them. However, as my Grandma Annie used to say, “If you can read, you can cook!” So I got to reading and cooking.
This recipe went from traditional to allergen safe by swapping the flour for my Grain Free Flour Blend, swapping out the vegetable oil, for sunflower oil, adding garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon & dill seasonings.

Notes
The results spoke for themselves! We got a crispy, juicy, delicious chicken, that disappeared from out plates. While I usually wait and try recipes multiple times, it was requested that I post this immediately because it is “perfection”.
