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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
