How Do You Make Cheese Sticks?

I would love to learn how to make gluten-free Cheese Sticks and other fried foods? I am even willing to go out and buy a deep fryer or what ever it takes. I miss my cheese sticks. Thank You

When I'm making anything fried i have a basic recipe. I use my gluten-free flour, mix som parmesian cheese in it, add salt and pepper. Then I get whatever I am going to fry roll it in beaten eggs then bread it in the mixture. Sometimes I put it back in the egg wash and then roll it again in the breading! Fry it up!

I also like to do the same thing but instead of the flour, I use pecan mill, I make it in the food processor. I love how it tastes with pork, chicken and fish. Maybe I'll try it with cheese and report back. I use the pecan mix everytime I entertain, with rave revues!

Good Luck!

We make them using bread\crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper, with Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. I use the string cheese sticks, which I keep in the freezer until I am ready to make the cheese sticks. I cut each stick in half, coat it thorougly with tapioca starch, then into an egg/milk mixture, then into the breadcrumbs, then back into the egg/milk and then one last coat of the breadcrumbs. Just make sure to cover all of the surfaces of the cheese stick with the breadcrumbs, so they don't burst on you. I deep fry them for about two minutes, until lightly browned. They really do turn out well I have also frozen them (without having fried them first) and they turn out well that way, too. It's a nice thing to have in the freezer for a fast treat. I have been happy with how few of them blow out through the coating, too.

Kinnikinnick has a wonderful Crispy Chicken Coating mix that I use for fried chicken once a week. My non-celiac husband loves it. They also make a General Coating Mix that I haven't tried yet. Open Original Shared Link

I prefer frying in a big electric skillet. It's not "deep frying", but I like it because I can use it for more than frying, so the space it takes up in my kitchen is a lot more efficient. I can also do a lot more at once. When I fry chicken, I can fry 8 breasts at once. So imagine how many cheesesticks that translates into. Yum!!

Happy cooking!
