I tried it recently with almond meal and it turned out decent.

Where do you find garbonzo bean flour? My local Walmarks doesn't carry stuff like that.

Well just decent? No one is going to try it now

Why? What's the advantage?

Well it wasn't AS good as using flour or cornstarch, but if you're cutting out wheat and gluten, it's a viable alternative.
@the Elvis guy: I bought mine at a Farm Fresh.

Ah I didn't think of the wheat / gluten aspect.
Nevermind

My Winn Dixie carries Bob's Red Mill brand chickpea flour (aka garbanzo). I haven't tried frying chicken coated in it, but I did make a very tasty dry-fried Indian zucchini dish. Spices heated w/oil, then chunks of zucchini, tossed w/garbanzo flour...the flour made a toasty-crisp crust on the zucchini.

I've made a chicken fricasse with it.. Came out delicious.
Just seasoned the chicken, rolled in garbanzo bean flour and browned as usual and made a gravy.

No pics (the camera on my phone is shite and the wife isn't home), but wow, that turned out great. It wasn't as crispy as cornstarch, but is as crispy as flour. It really added an extra layer of flavor to the chicken. It was savory, more so than normal fried chicken. I melted a little bit of unsalted butter and put some hot sauce in it. Perfect.

Curious--did you use bone in chicken pieces? Just wondering if the bean flour browned at the same rate as wheat flour, or if you had to make any adjustments in cooking time or temp.

I used boneless chicken breast. Brined. Seasoned. Egg wash. Chick pea flour. Fried in cast iron.
