on my way out the door    will have to be for dinner though as its almost lunch time here

has anyone tried this with a GF flour? I'm thinking of trying it... but not sure which would be the best choice to sub. Might try arrowroot.

Also, has anyone tried it with just normal milk (cos no milk or yoghurt on hand)?  Or even better, with an alternate milk (i.e. soy or something else?)

belfie,  I have made it for a friend and used 1/2 potato flour and 1/2 cornflour.  May be you could add a little lemon juice to the alternative milk.

Ok I tried it with the following:

normal milk (didn't read the lemon juice comment till too late!)

Instead of the wheat flour: 200g orgran crispy corn crumb, 150g arrowroot flour, 150g rice flour (made in TM with basmati rice), and I also threw in a tsp of xantham gum for good measure.
Popped it all in the fridge for half an hour or so before cooking, then shallow fried in olive oil.

And it was AWESOME!   That flavour is just yum yum YUM! The coating was yummy & crispy (possibly not as chunky without the buttermilk) but still delicious. It was devoured by all, DH declared it didn't taste "GF", fussy Mr 3yo gobbled it down, and Miss 1 inhaled her portion & looked for more.  Shall try with soymilk next time as don't want to push DH's dairy tolerance.  If I could find soy cream am wondering if that might work too.

Thank you so much achookwoman!

We used this on potato wedges last night. Yum. It is a favourite for chicken and wedges in this house.

Glad you like it Cookie.  A bit healthier than the bought stuff.

This is a great recipe dragongirly, once you have all the required ingredients for the spice mix it's really easy. My lot love it when I make this.

Hope you like it.  Can also make it GF ,  or/and without milk products.

I was talking about this yesterday with my DD and here it is for me to try, I've made the spice mix although I didn't have garlic powder and put in fresh garlic, I will use it tomorrow and if it is nice will share it with two dd so I won't be trying to store it for long.  Looking forward to having some ..

Hi, a further update from me

I tried it with soymilk, and it tasted great. Plus I pared back the GF flours, just using 150g orgran corn crumb and 100g arrowroot flour (left out the xantham gum - that was just a crazy moment I think). and it was delicious once again.  I will add that i think it could be made without the garlic powder if a FM'er was particularly sensitive.

Aussie Brenda,  fiddle with the recipe to get it to your liking.
