First of all, I HAD to try this because you got the recipe in Great Falls (where I was born) & I guess I needed to prove that some really great things come from GF. :) My family really, really loved this recipe. We've got over 100 degree weather & I'd been baking cookies & brownies all day, so a cold salad was just perfect for dinner. The breading was simple, yet it was so flavorful. I too used the deep fryer; 3 batches at 3 minutes each & we were eating dinner. I had a collection of veggies I wanted to use up, so for the salad we had iceberg lettuce, matchstick carrots, purple cabbage, chives & green onions. The chicken was cut into strips & then marinated for about 9 hours total. Very easy recipe & it was so delicious! We'll be making this one again. Thanks for sharing, Fairy Godmother!
