    July 6th is National Fried Chicken Day. As such I am sharing this gluten-free fried chicken recipe. Gluten-free fried chicken is not much different than wheat battered fried chicken, it is simply made with gluten-free flour instead of wheat. The nice thing about this particular recipe, is that it can be egg free or dairy free by using eggs instead of buttermilk and vice versa. However, it is not  recommended to be both dairy and egg free.

    For best results use pieces of dark meat. This will make it easier to bake and fry your chicken. Although, if you prefer white meat, it works fine with this recipe too. Although you will need to bake large chicken breasts for an extra five to 10 minutes. Brining the chicken is optional but will yield unbelievably tender meat. Cooking time, when right, requires no *brining.

    Fried Chicken (Gluten-Free)
    Serves: 4-6
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Ingredients:

    • 2 lb. chicken thighs or drumsticks, bone-in
    • ½ cup kosher salt or ¼ cup table salt (for soaking chicken-optional)
    • 2 cups  rice flour or  millet flour, divided
    • 1 ½ cups buttermilk or 3 eggs, beaten
    • dash paprika
    • dash cayenne pepper
    • salt and pepper, to taste
    • oil for frying (approx. 4 cups)
    Preparation:
    1. *(Optional): Place chicken in a large bowl. Add 2 qt. water and ½ cup kosher salt or ¼ cup table salt. Allow mixture to sit in refrigerator for two to three hours, then drain and pat dry. This process, called brining, will force salt and water into the chicken and make it more tender when cooked.
    2. Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken in one layer with your choice of butter, oil, or allergy-safe cooking spray. You may also use a nonstick baking dish. If you don't have a large enough dish to hold all the chicken, prepare two dishes.
    3. Set out three large, shallow bowls. Fill the left-hand bowl with 1 cup flour, the middle bowl with the buttermilk or beaten eggs, and the right-hand bowl with the remainder of the flour, salt and pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir the right hand bowl to combine the spices. Set the prepared baking dish or dishes beside the dredging area.
    4. Dredge the chicken by dipping each piece into the left-hand bowl, coating on all sides, then shaking gently to remove excess flour. Dip flour-covered chicken into buttermilk or egg until covered on all sides, then allow excess liquid to drip off. Finally, dip chicken into the seasoned flour and shake off. Place dredged chicken into the baking dish. Repeat until all chicken is dredged.
    5. Bake dredged chicken for 20 minutes, or until coating starts to turn light brown. Remove from oven.
    6. In a large skillet or wok, heat enough oil to submerge chicken halfway over medium-high heat. Fry all pieces, turning once, until thoroughly cooked, about six minutes per side. (If you have an instant-read thermometer, it should read 175 F at the thickest point of your dark meat, or 165 F if you choose to cook white meat using this recipe).
    Note: Take care to cook your chicken thoroughly and at the correct temperature. Otherwise you may end up with raw meat in the center.

    I diagnosed myself for gluten intolerance after a lifetime of bizarre, seemingly unrelated afflictions. If my doctors had their way, I would have already undergone neck surgery, still be on 3 different inhalers for asthma, be vomiting daily and having chronic panic attacks. However, since eliminating gluten from my diet in May 2009, I no longer suffer from any of those things. Even with the proof in the pudding (or gluten) my doctors now want me to ingest gluten to test for celiac-no can do.

    This recipe comes to us from Janet Wolkenstein
    Perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas). Note this recipe has 2 parts: cornbread croutons, and the stuffing ingredients after the croutons
    are made.

    Cornbread croutons:
    2 cups yellow corn meal
    1 tablespoon sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    ½ teaspoon salt
    1 cup skim milk
    ¼ cup vegetable oil
    1 egg, beaten
    Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and stir together until evenly mixed. Stir in milk, oil, and egg, and mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Pour batter into a greased large cookie sheet to form a thin (¼ inch, approx.) layer. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes until done, (be careful not to overcook the bottom). (If the top is still very light when the underside is done, you ca...

    This is a wonderfully sweet way to prepare scallops. The integrity of the scallops is well-maintained by giving them a light sear on each side, allowing them to hold their own against the tangy citrus sauce. This is a dish that utilizes both the juice and the zest of the fruit along with the savory aroma of the cider and coriander which work synchronously to create powerful dimension in the mouth. Because the quinoa cooks on its own, this recipe does not take long and makes for a beautiful presentation.
    Ingredients:
    1 ½ pounds sea scallops
    4 tangerines
    2 oranges
    1 small lemon
    1 cup quinoa, rinsed
    2 ¼ cups water
    2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    1 ½ teaspoons toasted coriander seeds, crushed
    3 tablespoons melted butter
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon ol...

    If you're like me, the recent cold weather has you longing for the heat waves of the past summer.  While grabbing a piece of fruit or even a refreshing smoothie on your way to work might fly during the summer, chilly winter mornings call for something much warmer before leaving the house.  This is a recipe for an easy-to-prepare oatmeal dish that mixes plain oatmeal, Konsyl Original Fiber supplement, pecans, syrup and whatever else you enjoy to give it an extra savory kick.
    Harvest Oatmeal is also a great meal because it can accommodate many allergies.  If you're lactose-intolerant like me, changing the type of milk used in the recipe to coconut, almond, lactose-free or another version won't affect the final taste.  And if you're allergic to pecans or other nuts, they can be left out...
