Nearly Kfc Chicken (gluten Free Coating Mix)

I have been gluten free since January 2007. I have found so much information, encouragement and compassion on this site, so I thought I would share my family's favourite chicken recipe. I used to make this before I was gluten free, but I think the gluten free flour makes a crispier coating!

If you are missing KFC, this may be close enough that you don't feel so deprived. It's also better for you -- not as much salt and it is baked and not fried.

Enjoy!

KFC Coating Mix

In a ziploc bag, mix

2 cups gluten free flour (I use celamix white bread mix)

2 Tbsp. gluten free baking powder

1 Tbsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

4 Tbsp. paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 Tbsp. italian seasoning

1 tsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. sugar

Mix together in the bag. Dampen your chicken pieces (cut up chicken, sliced chicken breast for chicken fingers or chicken nuggets) using your favourite method (milk, eggs, water). Coat with the above mixture.

In a shallow baking dish (a pyrex lasagna pan works well), coat the bottom with oil. Place your chicken in a single layer and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until done.

YUMMY!!!! This looks great, and really easy :)

Quick question, I've never heard of the Celamix bread mix. What is that? Where do you find it?

Celamix bread mix is available in Canada. It is a mixture of gluten free flours (rice, potato starch, etc.). It is available at our Old Fashioned Foods (health food/supply) stores, but I can also find it in my local super market ( Real Canadian Superstore).

I'm sure any gluten free flour mix would work just as well.

Yummy!

I tried this for dinner tonight using Bette Hagman's featherlite flour mix for the gluten free flour. I made french fries with it and felt like I went out for fast food. :) My non-celiac fiance liked it so much he asked if I made sure to put it in my binder that I keep my favorite recipes in!

Thank you so much for the recipe!

Mm, this does look good. How much chicken did you use? (I.e., there's only one of me, should I halve the recipe for the coating?) Can't wait to try it!

Hi Kochac

This recipe does make enough for a couple of chickens at least. You can half the recipe, or you can make the entire amount, transfer a little bit into a small container to coat your chicken pieces, and save the rest for another time.

I hope this helps.....

Thanks for the great idea. I used Fearns brown rice baking mix and brown rice flour. I added the spices I used to use to make fried chicken. I dipped mine in buttermilk and then coated them. I baked them in olive and oil and butter. It is the best I've had since going gluten free.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
