Coating For Chicken Nuggets

Is there a gluten-free equivalent of Shake N Bake? Or better yet, how do I make my own?

Also to avoid any more likely redundant questions, is there a search feature on this site that I'm overlooking? Thanks!

I haven't seen any commercially available, but it's pretty easy to make your own. You may have to experiment to get exactly the texture and flavors you like, but you could use cornmeal, gluten-free bread crumbs, gluten-free flour, and any mix of spices. Probably nothing will be exactly the same, but we all go through the stage of trying to reproduce what we can't have exactly, then finding something that's a reasonable substitute or going without. I like to use crushed cereal (gluten-free rice krispies equivalent or Rice Chex in the new gluten-free version) - dunk the chicken pieces in melted butter or margarine, then toss in a bag with whatever coating you have. Pour the leftover melted butter and crumbs over the top once the pieces are on the pan for even more crunch.

Recipezaar#279351 has a recipe using potato flakes, I have not tried it yet. (thinking they might get soggy?)

Recipezaar#301552 has a recipe using gluten-free cornflakes. I have tried it and its really good, the chicken coating is crunchy and doesn't really taste that much like corn.

You can sub crumbs. I tried it with Ranch Doritoes which are safe. Would be good in a ranch chicken wrap the next day or on a salad. You could use any gluten-free chip crumbs. Also Rice Chex should work too. We liked the cornflakes better than the Doritoes but a box is more expensive (and healthier!) than Doritoes, but Doritoes you can get at the grocery store. Some Doritoes are not safe.

You can roll the chicken in the crumbs or "shake 'n bake"

May I suggest to divide the chicken and use 2 different crumbs at the same time to see which you like the best.

Add whatever seasonings you want.

I made oven jo-joes to go with them. Oil and seasonings in a bag and shake and bake. May need to start baking them first before the chicken so they get done at the same time. :P YUMMY!

I just use corn meal and add my own flavoring (seasoned salt, garlic, onion, parsely, dill, etc).

I use this for my chicken and shrimp-I'm obsessed with it :P

Dip in:

beaten egg

almond flour

beaten egg

shredded (unsweetened) coconut

Bake and devour! It's even good cold the next day on a salad with honey mustard dressing ;)

We love to use potato flakes, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Dip the chicken in beaten egg first, roll in the potato flake mixture, drizzle with olive oil (or melted butter) and bake.

This smells heavenly while it's baking and tastes fantastic!

For bread crumbs I find a good gluten free bread and blend up the entire loaf in the food processor. Then I freeze and use as needed. I use this mixture for making homemade chicken nuggets or anything else that calls for bread crumbs.

I try to steer clear of corn as much as I can, which is hard being gluten free, but I have managed to do it so far!

Rachelle,

Your recipe sounds yum - I am going to try that! Now I'll get to finally use up my almond flour!

This would be good as chicken nuggets and pan seared in coconut oil!

My gluten-free Shake n' Bake recipe:

1/2 c. gluten-free Southern Homestyle corn flake crumbs

1/2 c. grated parmesan

a couple shakes black pepper

approximately 2 tsp Italian seasoning

We've found this to be extremely close to Shake N' Bake.

Try coating chicken nuggets/strips with smashed up Cool Ranch Doritos! I soak 'em in buttermilk and then dip and bake. They're YUMMY!!

I've used plain (lightly seasoned corn meal - which is a very light coating. I've used corn flakes and corn bread ground in the food processor - not bad, but better on fish, tho, imo. I've used veggie chips ground in the food processor - yummy but a slightly green color. Before i went gluten free, I was using half ritz and half cheez-its with a little garlic powder, which my whole family liked better than shake-n-bake. Experiment!

:D I have been using a fine to medium grind cornmeal or polenta for coating. I use an egg-wash first, then the cornmeal. its best, of course, fried, but ok if baked. We usually add sea-salt to the cornmeal.

this makes a great chicken nugget or chicken tender. (an important staple for my 7 year old).

I also have found a cracker by sans gluten called cracklebread. it comes in regular or sundried tomato and herb flavor. crunched up, it makes an almost panko-like bread-crumb that works on nearly everthing you might want to try. mixed with parmesean, herbs--an excellent breading for chicken--even chicken cordon bleu.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
