cypressaggie 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 28, 2004 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! Link to post Share on other sites
angel_jd1 10 Posted December 28, 2004 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 28, 2004 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. -Jessica Jessica Gluten Free since 12-31-2002!!

celiac3270 5 Posted December 28, 2004 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 28, 2004 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 contact them about it or see how accomodating they'd be.....

cypressaggie 0 Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 28, 2004 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! Link to post Share on other sites
cypressaggie 0 Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 29, 2004 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! Link to post Share on other sites
celiac3270 5 Posted December 29, 2004 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted December 29, 2004 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 Link to post Share on other sites
jcro 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted October 10, 2013 For anyone wanting gluten-free chicken fingers, I suggest Bell & Evans gluten-free. They are excellent and they also have chicken breast and nuggets. Link to post Share on other sites
