I tried your "fried" chicken recipe with the potato flake coating. It was good but a lot of the coating came off. Did I do something wrong when I did it? How do I get it to stay on and crunchy???

sometimes it does tend to come off, I haven't figured out exactly what makes the difference. Someone suggested after dipping in the egg and the potato flakes to let them sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking. I also seem to have better luck when I double dip, after coating with egg and potato flakes, go back and do it again. Try those tricks and see if it helps, I know what you mean though because it has happened to me. It still tasted great so I didn't complain! LOL!

I've used Nini's chicken recipe several times now and had pretty good success. I think using potato flakes vs flour, the "crust" is just going to be lighter/different texture. It doesn't hold on to the chicken like some coatings, but we've been very pleased with results we get: dip chicken in egg/milk mixture then in potato flake mixture just once. I use butter in the pyrex dish and make sure that the butter is melted in the dish, so both are hot when I add chicken. Cook first side fairly well before trying to flip. 2nd side doesn't take as long. Closest thing I've found to Abner's chicken tenders since having to go gluten-free.....

Can't believe this thread just came up. :blink:

Patti was just telling me about 5 min ago about your recipe. :lol:

Guess you posted it when i was gone.

I asked her this question and she just told me to cook the chicken with the breast side down at I THINK SHE SAID 425 DEGREES AND THE LAST 10 MINUTES USE A SPATULA AND FLIP IT OVER CAREFULLY and it's really crunchy and stays on. I don't think she used the egg tho. Maybe Patti will see this correct me if i'm wrong. The temp seems high. Maybe i got that part wrong......Hope Mrsnj wasn't cooking it for dinner. Think Patti was thinking about it.

It sounds great Nini. I'd like to cook it tomorrow nite. Hope i can get the correct temp and coating by then.

Out of curiosity what taco shells do you use? Tacos are sounding good! We can have corn flour in any form right?

In the recipe that I saw, it said to wash off the chicken and leave it wet. Then roll it in the seasoned potato flakes. That's what I did. Like Judy said, after I coated the chicken, I put it in the pan with the melted Smart Balance skin side down. I let it bake 1/2 the time, and then flipped the pieces with a pancake turner--that kept the coating intact. Then as it finished to bake, the top got nice and brown and crisp. I was going to make it again tonight, but turns out it will be tomorrow night! And it does smell fantastic while it's baking :D

:lol::lol: That is so funny--I didn't know there were 2 versions! The no-egg one worked well for me, so I'm going to stick with it. The secret to that one is the pancake turner! :D

The original recipe I developed for me and my family included the egg, when I wrote it down for the newsletter they wanted me to make it safe for those with egg allergies, so... out went the eggs, it still works, still tastes great, just doesn't stick to the chicken as well! So, consider the egg version the Original!

WARNING: This recipe may become habit-forming.

I could easily eat these chicken tenders a couple of times a week, and they make a great picnic. My dh and I were going to see Cirque du Soleil in Memphis last week, and because of show-time & travel-time we needed supper en route, but neither of us wanted to risk my getting glutened. I made a picnic basket with these as the main attraction. Wrapped in foil and placed in an insulated carrier, they stayed hot until we were ready to eat; with dipping sauce, carrot sticks, chips, and a couple of apples we were definitely King and Queen of the Road :)

Hubby ate so many chicken tenders, he never made it to the cookies...very unusual for the man to have to pass up dessert.

You are right, it is habit forming!

Sounds like a lovely picnic! I absolutely love mixing honey and Annie's Natural's mustard together for a honey mustard dipping sauce! Annie's gluten-free bbq sauce is great too!

I did it like I made my crushed saltine version before dx...

Season pieces and dredge in flour (I don't remember what I used last time), then dip in beaten egg, and then into seasoned potato flakes (I posted the ranch version on here at some point). I also drizzle the butter over the pieces instead of the bottom of the pan. Works every time, and the coating gets crispy and yummy and stays on.

It's identical to my chx tender recipe from before, except for the potato flakes and a different kind of flour... and recreating ranch seasoning :ph34r:

Thanks! I'll try it again....with EGG!!! :D It was still good. I just would have liked the breading to be ON the chicken rather than me picking it out of the pan!!! LOL! I am not sure how my husband turned them. Maybe that was the problem. The tops that baked 1st had it on there but the bottom was stuck to the pan. Maybe he didn't use a turner of some sort.

Ahhhh...my goal for this week!

I'll try those next....if someone can pry my hands from the container of Comeback Sauce. This sauce and Nini's chicken tenders are absolutely unbelievable. One of life's greatest pleasures.

(The recipe below is just a guess, cause I just dump & stir until it's right)

Comeback Sauce (quick and easy)

1 1/2 c mayo

3/4 c ketchup

Couple of dashes worcestershire

4-5 shakes of chili powder

Couple dashes garlic powder

Couple dashes paprika

Couple dashes Mrs. Dash

-Adjust all ingredients to suit personal taste....you'll know when it's right.

What's Comeback Sauce and where did it come from????

HI

well I went all over trying to find some soy free mayannoise and found the canola hellmanns...finally.

ck'd alot of products and even ones i'd used before had SOY now. Be careful with the Trader Joes. :ph34r::blink:

by the time i got home at 6:00 I was too tried to try Nini's chicken but did a great chicken stir fry with a combo of white/ brown rice. it was so good.

Since i finally found the BC potato buds will have tomorrow nite.

I went on line and found a great link for more recipes to use the huge box ( only one they had)

Maybe some of you want to try some.

here's the link Open Original Shared Link

You can do some soup, meatloaf, m/p and lots of stuff.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
