How to Make Gluten Free Springfield Style Cashew Chicken

  1. **Prepare the Gluten-Free Breading:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup tapioca starch, and 1/2 cup cornstarch. Add your favorite spices (suggestions: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper). Divide the mixture into two separate bowls.
  2. **Prepare the Egg Wash:** In a third bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk until a light emulsion forms.
  3. **Bread the Chicken:** Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Dredge each piece in the first flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Dip into the egg wash, letting it soak for about 10 seconds. Finally, coat thoroughly in the second flour mixture.
  4. **Cook the Chicken:** Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. **Make the Sauce (Recipe needed here):** Combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened to your desired consistency. (Please provide sauce ingredients and amounts for a complete recipe).
  6. **Assemble and Serve:** Serve the cooked chicken over a bed of cooked rice. Top generously with cashews and chopped green onions. Drizzle with the prepared sauce and enjoy your delicious gluten-free Springfield-style cashew chicken!
