Breaded(gf), Fried Chicken!

Anyone try this?

I bought some Enter-G Foods Bread Crumbs and had some chicken tenderlions (raw).

I filled a pan with oil, about enough to cover the chicken when put it, and then heated it up.

Then I would grab a tenderlion, rised it off with water, then rolled it in the Enter-G Foods Bread Crumbs, making sure it was completely covered. After that, I dropped it in the oil. Repeated this process with the rest of the chicken. Each pice, I think tooks in maybe 5-7 minutes (make sure to flip them!).. cutting them in half at their thickest to look for pink is a good idea!

Then I salted them, and ate them! Tested like "normal" food to me. Basically like my mom use to make, when she used real bread crumbs, lol.

Though I think she coated them in egg white, I just used water.. to help it stick. Raw chicken is quite sticky on it's own too. I figure you can change this around to fit your needs, maybe put some spices in with the Enter-G Foods Bread Crumbs or something.

Just wanted to share, incase someone liked chicken like this before going gluten-free!

Yum, that sounds delicious! I'm going to have to try some chicken fingers soon (they're my favorite gluten-full food). They're so my favorite that we'll go to fancy restaurants and I'll get those over anything else!

Thank you for sharing!!! :D

LOL.. I realized that I'm always replying to your posts!

Being from the south, I can make a mean batch of GLUTEN fried chicken. The secret is soaking the chicken(raw) in milk about an hour before you plan to fry, putting salt and pepper in the flour (or this case the gluten-free bread crumbs) and heating your oil really well before you put the chicken in, and only flipping it once while your frying.

LOL GEF, and you're welcome. =)

lesliewatts -> I can't have any milk products either, but sounds like an interesting idea. Do heat up the oil though! And yeah, I figured someone more experienced could put spices in the gluten-free bread crumbs.. and I flip it a bit more than you do though, lol.. but still learning!

Thanks for adding your ideas for others who can have dairy! =)

I made chicken "nuggets" this way for my son, but I had a problem with the breading sticking on...some had hunks of the bread fall off. Was this bc I turned it too much? Any tips on getting the breading to "stick" better?

Hmmm.. mine sticked fine. Nothing really came off in cooking. You could try dipping it in egg first maybe? Think some people do that.

I just ran my underwater, to clean it off.. and make it wet. Then rolled it in the crumbs.. making sure it was all covered, and had no problems.

Were you baking? Maybe it works different than frying.

One thing I love to do is dip the chicken in ranch dressing instead of egg (this is gluten-full recipe). Now, all I've got to do is find a gluten-free one, but it is soooo delicious!

That sounds interesting. Happy with my method, so why change? Though that does sound interesting too.. and I don't do eggs, trying to aviod most sources of egg, LOL.

This could be a good idea for me when I get bored of just bread crumbs, but right now.. it's so exciting and new compared to everthing else I eat, LOL.

Gawd.. it's so sad, when I find something new to make, not very advanced and fairly simple.. it's like I found the greatest food ever! hehe

I make chicken nuggets for my family a lot. We use buttermilk. I cut the chicken into cubes and then roll them into buttermilk. Then I roll them into rice flour seasoned with Mrs. Dash grilling blends chicken seasoning and garlic salt then deep fry. They are great and our girls love them.

I was going to suggest buttermilk, too, for those that can have dairy. A Southern thing, I think.

If your breading is falling off, your oil is not hot enough. Drop a couple of crumbs in the oil before you fry. If it sizzles and floats, it's hot enough. If it sinks, let it get hotter. (If it disintegrates before your eyes in a wisp of smoke, you've got it way too hot! :D )

You only really need to flip one time. Flipping too much will cause your breading to fall off and the chicken to absorb more grease because you're lowering the temp of the oil every time you flip. Don't be afraid of the oil being hot - if you get any smoking at all, turn down the heat a little - but not much!

Don't fry in olive oil. Too low a smoke point. Can't get it hot enough.

Hehehehe!

I agree.. you have to have that oil hot and I'd turn it as seldom as possible.

I made all the mistakes possible when I first tried frying breaded chicken. Now I like to think I'm pretty good. Here's how I make mine, it's a little different, but everybody's version is a little different I think. I use glutenous rice flour instead of regular flour now that I'm gluten-free because it fries up really well, and pours easily--- doesn't clump like most starches do.

I use canola oil- good and high smoke point so it won't burn on you. Follow crc's advice to make sure the oil is hot enough but not too hot!

I dip the chicken in glutenous rice flour, then into an egg wash (just eggs and milk with a little salt and pepper) and then straight into the bread crumbs (I use 50/50 bread crumbs and crushed crisped rice cereal, gluten-free of course, to which I add some glutenous rice flour, some seasoned salt, pepper, and any herbs and spices you like) then drop it into the oil! Flip it once when it has turned golden brown on the bottom, and then take it out and put it on paper towel when it's done. The first dry dunk helps the egg wash adhere to the chicken, and in turn the egg wash helps hold the bread crumbs on.

If you want to make something really heavenly, add some freshly grated parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mix along with some dried basil, oregano and thyme. Put the finished breaded chicken on top of a pile of gluten-free pasta and pour your favorite tomato-based pasta sauce over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and you have chicken parmesan that is to die for!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
