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!

The Gluten Free Pantry and also Kinnikinnick Foods have some great breading/coating mix. I make a baked chicken out of them that is SO good!!

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
