[GLUTEN-FREE!!!] SPRINGFIELD STYLE CASHEW CHICKEN



[gluten-Free!!!] Springfield Style Cashew Chicken image

For anyone who misses the fun of Springfield, Mo Style Cashew Chicken. If you're gluten-free like me, use the following method to fry: Mix 1 part Rice flour, 1 part Tapioca starch, 1 part Cornstarch with whatever spices you like. Split this mixture in to two bowls. In a third bowl, beat 2 eggs and add between 1/4 and a 1/2 cup of milk, until it just forms an emulsion. Set up the bowls like so: Flour, Eggs, Flour. Now, take your cut up chicken bits, drop in the first flour bowl and coat lightly, but completely. Move to egg mixture, I let it soak for about 10 seconds. Last, drop in the last flour bowl and cover well. Drop in a hot pan with 1/4 inch or so of oil and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until brown.
