Fried Chicken And Onion Rings

I'm not a big fried food person, but every now and then, I just want an onion ring or a piece of fried chicken. I normally do a baked version (kinda like shake and bake) but I wanted to go all out this weekend. I had some great success and wanted to share.

I used Saffola Oil, which is lower in saturated fats than vegetable oil, but still has a high flash point (the temp it'll get to before it starts to burn).

For the onion rings I used 1 cup Pamela's Pancake mix, a teaspoon of garlic powder, an egg and 3/4 cup water. They were amazing and delicious. Sweet and savory with a light fluffy crunch. I couldn't cook them as fast as they were being eaten.

I used two different coatings for the chicken, to experiment. I brined the chicken for an hour, then coated it, baked it for 20 minutes to set the coating then fried them at 6min/side.

The first coating was Kinnikinnick's Crispy Chicken Coating mix. I dipped the chicken in the mix, then in buttermilk, then back in the mix. This came out crunchy and heavenly, though I was very worried during cooking, as it instantly turned very dark in the oil. Similar taste to "original recipe" though 100 times better. Definitely the house favorite.

The second coating was tortillas crumbs, paprika and ground black pepper. Dipped chicken in buttermilk, then rolled it in the crunchies. This came out very crunchy and good, but was a very distant second to the Kinnikinnick.

There were also garlic mashes potatoes that no one paid any attention to :P

Sounds GREAT! I agree... I normally go for baked, but sometimes you just want FRIED!!!

Did you make these in a frying pan/skillet, or are you talkin' some kinda deep fryer thing like those old FRY BABIES people used to have?

I just used my large deep skillet, with a big spatter guard (essential) I found one at Bed Bath and Beyond with a folding handle, its awesome. I had the oil about an inch thick.

Elonwy,

Can you detail how you did the onion rings? Did you soak them in buttermilk? Then the dry mixture? Then egg? or was it all mixed together?

thanks

I just made the batter by mixing the dry stuff together then adding the egg and water, then dunked the onions in it, then straight into the oil. They did better the less they sat in the batter.

Oh my gawd that sounds delish! My family thanks you for the inspiration.

Hey, I just realized that your sig quote is Mal from Firefly. Awesome show. Why is it that smart entertainment never makes it much past the first season?

Hehe, I hope they come out as nummy for you as they did for me.

My pic is me dressed as Kaylee, though zoomed in so you can't tell so much. Luckily there is the movie Serenity and the comic books and things, so it did not die completely, but yeah... Fox is dumb.

Same thing happened to Earth2. Good thing Stargate didn't get canned. Love me some Richard Dean Anderson.......

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
