Nini's Chicken

[jaten]

Nini, I saw a post where you described how you do an oven-fried chicken using tater flakes. Please post that again. It looked delicious and I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Hi Nini--That was perfect timing for me! I bought the potato flakes on Saturday and made shepard's pie with them tonight (to make the meat part). I will be trying your chicken, too. Thanks

Tonight's supper is sure to be yummy. Thank you!

[Guest nini]

you are quite welcome. I have served this dish for company and got RAVE reviews! Every time I make it my husband comments on how good it smells while it's cooking and how tender and juicy it is! I just love it.

I always use Springer Mountain Farms antibiotic free, hormone free chicken... I think that using "clean" meat makes a difference in the taste too.

[jaten]

DELICIOUS!! And it did smell so wonderful while cooking. I had to use different brands but the result was mah-velous

[Guest nini]

YAY!!! I am so glad it worked out for you! It is one of my fave meals to serve for company!

Nini ~ I made your chicken last night! It was a hit with everyone!! Thanks so much!!

[RoseNNJ]

I made it too! I used Boneless Chicken Breasts, thin sliced. Awesome! Thank you!!!

[Guest nini]

Success! I made it the other night too! I used Chicken Tenders, my fave to use when I'm wanting chicken fingers for dipping... I was hoping for leftovers but my hubby devoured the rest!!! (I made a big batch!)

I haven't made this yet, but I was looking for a recipe to replace my tenders recipe that used crushed saltines and hidden valley ranch powder (not gluten-free, right?).

I'm going to make these soon, I've had a hankering for chicken tenders!

Thanks for sharing, Nini!

[Guest nini]

you are welcome. It is soooooo yummy!

we came up with it one night when we were craving fried chicken and I started doing research how to do oven fried chicken and discovered I could use instant potato flakes... the rest is history!

[penguin]

Nini, you've inspired me!

Tonight, I will be working like a mad scientist trying to raise my ranch chicken tenders up from the ashes!

***Lightning strike for dramatic effect****

All ranch powder is is spices and buttermilk, right? I'm going to try to find a gluten-free buttermilk powder, and then add typical ranch spices and some vitamin A or C powder for the acid vinegar would give...

Mwah ha ha...

To the laboratory!

(well, after I get off work anyway)

think I'll make this tomorrow night, I sure hope any brand of gluten-free potato flakes are ok.

I always make a homemade dip for my tenders, its great

just mix up a few Tbs of mayo, tsp yellow mustard, Tbs spicey mustard, honey to taste..yummy!

thanks for sharing

Yeah, I think any gluten-free flakes would work. I can't find Barbara's here, but Idaho Spud flakes worked great. Erbetty, your dip sounds yummy too.

Ok, the other night I just did chicken pieces because I wanted a "fried chicken" substitute. Now I'm needing some "chicken tenders." I miss Abner's tenders since dx. Chicken tenders with comeback sauce, Ore Ida fries, spinach salad. Sounds like a meal to me.

[Guest nini]

just check your brands... Kraft and General Mills will clearly label if there is any WBRO in the product... I use Barbara's because the ONLY ingredient is potatoes! That's it... no additives to guess about. Read your ingredient labels, and when in doubt about a brand, call the mfr., I try to go shopping during the weekday and use my cell phone right in the grocery store if I find something I have questions about.

[ebrbetty]

hi nini, whats WBRO?? I have" Idaho Spuds" brand

[Guest nini]

WBRO = Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats

I need to go back to bed..stupid me thanks

[Guest nini]

I need to go back to bed..stupid me thanks

you are not stupid! There are no stupid questions here!

[jaten]

you are not stupid! There are no stupid questions here!

No, but there are funny ones.

I'm so very glad this is a place we can all laugh together.

That's ok, Erbetty, we all have those moments. I'll have another cup of coffee just for you....I was just looking around for a good reason to finish off the pot. For what it's worth, it took me the longest to figure out all this dh, dd, stuff that you see posted everywhere here. I think I finally got it. If I'm wrong I might be embarrassing myself in my recent decision to use them

[ebrbetty]

I don't think there's enough coffee for me today, still paying for my stupid move last night by eating gluten-free mac and cheese...I found out I can't have that much cheese

DH can mean Dermatitis Herpetiformis OR Dear Husband or Dam Husband respectively!

DD = dear daughter

DS = dear son

Thank you for the confirmation, Nini. I knew that DH was Dermatitis Herpetiformis, but got confused when people were talking about recipes their rashes enjoyed. My brain had to do some scrambling to catch up, but I got it.

Wow! Last night I used Nini's recipe with chicken tenderloin. This was so very delicious. Finally, the chicken tenders that I had loved so much. Served with Comeback sauce for dipping, OreIda fries, and spinach salad. Can hardly wait for the left overs tonight.
