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.......

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June.

      Is this celiac?

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So...

      Is this celiac?

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative. I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to...

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
