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.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would...

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting...

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife!

There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
