We use Pamela's Baking Mix and a little cornmeal mixed in with it. We then fry is canola oil in a pan. The kids love it!

Kinnikinnick also has crispy chicken coating mix. It's really good. In the past I used Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour and it browned pretty fast, so make sure that you keep the heat down/watch the meat closely.

I use crushed corn flakes or crushed cheesy rice crackers. Sometimes, I dip the chicken strips in ranch dressing, then roll in corn flakes or cracker crumbs and bake. (Or I cheat and buy Ian's gluten-free nuggets!)

:P I'm a bit lazy. I buy frozen ones. Either Bob Evan's tenders (also have nuggets but the tenders taste better) or Wellshire Farms dinosaur shaped nuggets. Tastes good and only take about 9minutes to cook. :P

I usually make my own breadcrumbs from a half a loaf of gluten-free pantry bread (i buy the mix & bake the bread - it's way easier than you think) - throw some day-old (ie, left out on a plate) slices into the cuisinart with some salt & pepper, garlic, parsley, little oregano, basil - however you like to flavor your breadcrumbs. then i pound the chicken thin & cut into strips, dip in egg wash & then the breadcrumbs & fry em in a pan. my son & husband inhale them. and the breadcrumbs i store in a ziploc in the rfreezer - they last a long time.

We coat the chicken in rice milk and then in mashed potato flakes. Yum!

I use pure cornstarch. In fact, I just did this the other day for DH while I'm out of town. I coated them in cornstarch (my DD4 did it by shaking chicken tenders in a ziploc bag), fried them and set them on a paper towel to cool. Then I put them on a cutting board in the freezer for about an hour, got them back out and tossed them in a freezer bag to store in the freezer. Now they are just like the bags of Tyson chicken I used to keep on hand.

If I make my own I use Ener-G foods gluten free bread crumbs. I use it for nuggets but also for breaded chicken and it tastes very good. But I do buy frozen chicken nuggets as well. We like Ian's and also Wellshire Farms.

I use three bowls, one full of gluten free flour, the second full of beaten egg (as long as there are no egg alergies), and third one full of gluten free breadcrumbs. cut up the chicken breast into nuggets, second roll in the flour until coated, next dip it into the egg and then the breadcrumbs. then place them onto a baking tray and cook in the oven... serve with thai sweet chilli sauce and savour!!mmmmmmmm

I don't bother with flour at all. I cut chicken brest into strips and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bake until done.

      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...

      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.

      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?
