In a large zip lock bag, add brown rice flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose unbleached white flour, red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt and poultry seasoning. Close bag and shake to incorporate well. Add pieces of chicken and shake bag to completely coat the chicken.
