Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk and pickle juice. Add the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours and up to overnight.
When ready to coat, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two large baking pans with unbleached parchment paper.
Then, select 3 shallow bowls or large plates with a rim and add the following:
1. BOWL #1: Combine the cassava flour, salt and pepper
2. BOWL #2: Add the eggs and whisk
3. BOWL #3: Combine the gluten free panko crumbs and italian seasoning
To coat the chicken, remove one piece of the chicken from the brine and shake off any excess moisture.
Dredge both sides of the chicken in the flour mixture, dip in the egg and then roll in the seasoned panko crumbs.
Transfer chicken piece to the parchment paper. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
When all of the chicken pieces have been coated, lightly brush the tops with a very thin coating of oil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove chicken from oven, flip and lightly brush the top of the other side with oil. Bake for another 20 minutes or so, or until outside is crispy and brown and inside is cooked through.
For crispier chicken, broil on low for 3-5 minutes, flipping the chicken and broiling for an additional 3 minutes.
Serve with Creamy Lemon Sauce for dipping, if using.
