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!

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      @Mark Conway, here is an article outlining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease. By far, the most popular one ordered by physicians is the tTG-IGA. But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test. In...

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      And I agree with Wheatwacked.

I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.

But almost all of these tests are known by different names so the terminology will vary from place to place and lab to lab. The article gives common variant names for each test.  In addition to IGA tests there are IGG tests which are particularly useful in the case of IGA deficiency.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty! My feet aren’t dry or ashy and I don’t have a rash that gets scaly. It’s like very itchy/burning vesicles that are symmetrical - on both arms, both legs, etc. They actually feel better in direct sunlight as long as it isn’t really hot or I’m not exercising outside, but gets worse if I sweat (especially if the area is covered up). It’s not usually on the outside of my elbows and knees which seems more typical of dermatitis herpetiformis (unless it spreads there). It tends to first hit the inside of those areas. Interestingly, twice the rash broke out soon after eating an unhealthy meal and having an alcoholic drink (I only drink a few times a year, no more alcohol content than a glass of wine).  So I wonder if there is a connection. I’m halfway considering doing a gluten challenge for a few months to see what happens, knowing I can stop if I have any symptoms, and asking for a full celiac disease panel at the end. I really appreciate your thoughts!
