For breadcrumbs, I do one of 3 things.

Buy gluten-free crumbs. Gillian's is available in our area. My husband's complaint is that they are a little too coarse and hard. Sometimes I process the ends off homemade bread but the crumbs from them are often too hard too.

Process Rice Chex or Health Valley Corn Crunch 'Ems in the food processor. I use these mostly for IN meatloaf etc.

Process a loaf of Ener-G tapioca bread into not too fine crumbs (like panko or slightly larger) and freeze in a ziplock baggie to use as breading. The result after deep frying is a light crisp crumb. Don't like the bread to eat but it makes great breadcrumbs and stuffing cubes for Thanksgiving.

This is a great tip! I have a loaf of bread in my fridge that I fear is going to go to waste.

Dumb question alert!
How do you use it for deep frying? Do you coat chicken with egg and then crumbs and just drop in the fryer? I am VERY new to deep frying. (Have only made one batch of FF in my life!)

TIA!

I use Mission corn tortillas. But have only found them in the small 'taco' size.

Thanks all, I have no idea on the frying as I've never deep fried food - sorry.
I wanted the breadcrumbs for a great Turkey & Spinach meatloaf we used to eat, am so excited to be able to have it again, thank you, thank you thank you :D

The reason we freeze the crumbs is to preserve their freshness longer. They could be used fresh. We lightly coat in flour, then egg, then the crumbs. We don't bother to defrost them. They do quickly enough on their own. For prepping ahead for many things, we just put the breaded product, uncooked on a parchment lined baking sheet into the freezer, then remove and place in containers or freezer bags after they firm up. Then when we want to eat, we put straight into the fryer from the freezer.

This all works for pan frying too but for pan frying I often gently defrost in the microwave first.
