What Is The Best Flour To Use

Hello.

I want to make an oven-baked fried chicken recipe I just found and I need to dredge the chicken in flour. I'd be interested in knowing what flour you use to coat chicken pieces. I just don't know enough about what the individual flours are for. Or should I use something like Pamela's baking mix or maybe Grandma Ferdon's?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I'm not sure about oven-baked, but I have a recipe for pan-fried that uses corn flour. It only called out corn flour in the recipe but I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak and so I used 2/3 cup corn flour and 1/3 cup gluten-free flour mix (the basic rice flour - tapioca flour - corn starch mix). I thought it turned out great. Good enough so that the whole family ate gluten free fried chicken and not just my daughter.

Also - I found my corn flour at an Asian Market.

If you've got a good oven-baked recipe, please share, my kids don't care for baked or grilled chicken (which is what we usually have) and I won't do the fried chicken too often, for obvious reasons.

I usually use a 50 50 mix of corn flour and rice flour. Corn meal is also good with chicken if you're going to fry it, or oven fry it. I usually do a mix of corn and rice flour, salt and pepper and dried oregano. Comes out great. Tastes like I dredged in italian breadcrumbs.

I like to use Potato Buds with some garlic powder, salt and pepper .

I oven fry the chicken in a mixture of Smart Balance and olive oil.

I usually use about equal parts of corn starch, rice flour and cornmeal. I love chicken this way! It's very crunchy and the skin stays of chicken well throughout frying.

Polenta is good as well.

Patti - we don't have potato buds in the UK. Is that just instant potato?

I normally use finely crushed, stale tortilla chips or crushed stale pretzels. It makes a great breading that is different than normal fried chicken, but in my opinion, better.

I made mine by soaking chicken strips in eggs and bbq sauce, then tossing them in a bag with paprika, ground pepper, and crushed chips. I spray them with olive oil and bake. Everyone loved them!

Yes, any instant dried potato flakes would do :)

If you try it this way, a hint--start the chicken skin side down and turn with a spatula or pancake turner 1/2 way through baking. That way, the crust stays intact.

Darn210 -

Thank you. I will try this recipe and if it turns out good I will definitely share it with you! Unfortunately it will take me a couple of weeks - I work during the day (meals that take a long time to cook are a no-no for us Monday - Friday) and I'm gone for the next two weekends in a row...but if I can find the recipe I received, I'll post it here for you to try if you'd like!

Wow! Thanks everyone for the ideas. It's very appreciated. I can't wait to try this recipe! :D

Before my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease, I used to take a packet of Hidden Valley dry salad dressing and coat the chicken in that and then bake it (there were a few other ingreidents also I think). That was our absolute favorite way to haev chicken. Now, unfortunately, they can't promise that the mix is gluten-free. We were so disappointed. But now that I've seen this recipe, I'm ready to try again. Plus, it has that "fried" texture to it and I am looking forward to that since everything I fry gets burned! :rolleyes:

Thanks again!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
