Popeyes Naked Chicken

I just received a flyer for Popeye's Naked Chicken with only 2 grams of carbs. They marinate, season, and deep fry the chicken with no breading. Has anyone tried this and is it gluten-free? My seven year old wants to have occasional chicken tenders, and this would be a wonderful alternative! Thanks for any help!

Most likely it is not safe because of the deep frying. If it isn't in a dedicated fryer then it is contaminated. The proteins from the breaded chicken would get on the naked chicken and make you very sick. You can always ask to see if they use the dedicated fryer though, then write the company to check on spices. It is worth a shot.

I highly doubt that it's gluten-free. The seasonings could contain gluten, and the fryer is probably used for all chicken...probably not safe. You can Open Original Shared Link or see how accomodating they'd be.....

Thanks, Jessica! I didn't think about the cross contamination. Of course they are only concerned with pleasing the low carb dieters, not the celiacs...haha! I appreciate the reply! :D

Thanks, celiac3270. I sent them an email on their website. I predict that the reply won't be what I wanted to hear, but I'll pass on any info I get. I guess I will have to create my own chicken tenders at home! :blink:

Yes...there's a pretty good, but slightly bland, bread crumb-type thing...made by Ener-G. My mom sometimes makes me chicken nuggets with fresh chicken into good-sized chunks covered with the bread crumbs...they can be made more interesting with gluten-free spices or salt. I've also tried them on veal and pork...also pretty good :)

For anyone wanting gluten-free chicken fingers, I suggest Bell & Evans gluten-free. They are excellent and they also have chicken breast and nuggets.

      @LeeRoy83    Hello again.  Picking up on something else you said re: the shock that you may be a coeliac. It may has come as a shock to learn that coeliac disease is a possibility, but if that is the case, although it can be at times a bit of a nuisance not to be able to eat gluten anymore, it has been my experience that most of my friends and acquaintances who have it have adapted to it well, and are thriving.  Although statistically it affects 1 in a 100 people, I know more than that, strangely, so I can see first hand how the diet can make a big difference for most people. In the UK we are blessed with a wonderful selection of gluten free food on sale in the shops, which seems to be ever-increasing, well labelled food packaging making it easier to determine if food contains gluten, a fabulous charity called Coeliac UK who provide a lot of very helpful information, including a gluten free food app and guide that you can take shopping with you, and good follow-up care provided by the NHS.   But that's for another day - IF you have indeed got Coeliac Disease.   Do meet up with your GP, take a list of questions to ask, and then if he wants you to take the coeliac diagnosis a step forward do let us know if we can be of help  - we can walk with you every step of the way.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      No. That is, unless the dietician themself has a gluten disorder or is managing a close family member who does and therefore is immersed in it daily so as to be up on the nuances of eating gluten free. Otherwise, they just give you very general information which you can get online.

      Yes, a very cryptic and uninformative lab result report indeed! But it does seem like this is typical for the UK. It's almost like the "professionals" in that healthcare system don't want you to try and figure anything out for yourself.

      Thanks for the explanation. Do you think a dietician is required? I see people ask about getting one but what now will they help with besides charge you to say start away from gluten.

      Wow! I think the answers to your questions seem obvious to me but I'll oblige you. It's invasive because they are running a scope into an orifice and down through much of your body. Any procedure that invades the body is invasive. It's expensive because you are paying a trained professional (a doctor) to do it, plus nurses and an anesthesiologist plus you are using expensive equipment. It may not be expensive to you, depending on your insurance plan, but it is expensive as far as the health insurer is concerned. It involves some risk because you would be put under anesthesia and because there is always the danger of tearing something with the scope on the way down through your esophagus, stomach and into your small bowel.
