Great Fried Chicken & Cod Dejonghe Recipes

The chicken nugget recipe that was on this message board for so long was such a hit, that I took it to another level and made skinless, boneless chicken breast the same way. Just put the breasts in beaten egg, then crushed Lay's Potato Chips and then pan fry in olive oil. They are so good and such a good substitute for fried chicken.

I make the cod de jonghe by putting good cod loins in a baking dish, cover with crushed Lay's Potato chips and then garlic powder and melted butter. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15-20 or until flaky....really yummy. You can make this with shrimp or scallops etc. too. I am so grateful to the person who came up with the crushed Lay's idea. The young people that work for me say that the chicken nuggets made with them are better than the ones at Mc D's!!!!!!!

There is no need to suffer just because you can't have gluten!!!!!!!!

You could bread chicken strips/fish with crushed gluten free corn flakes. It's a healthier alternative to chips, and less salty...

My gluten-free Chicken Strips are even better than my non-ones! :rolleyes: I used to use regular Corn Flakes and Saltines (sp?) Soda Crackers, my mom, Viola/Shirley, suggested using crushed gluten-free Pretzels in place of the soda crackers, and of course the gluten-free corn flakes! YUMMY!!! They are crispier and have the same great flavour! Of course there are more ingredients that I'm keeping secret... never know when I may want to give up dogs and open a gluten-free restaurant! :lol: NOT!! :blink:

I had tried making those nuggets with the potato chips. I really didn't care for them much. They tasted "ok". They were just way too much work for what came out. I wouldn't waste my time making them again. Just my opinion.

However, I bet it would make a good coating for the fish you suggested.

i've never used potato chips and frankly it doesn't sound like my cup of tea... however the corn flake/pretzel combo is excellent. It is a LOT of work and I don't make them nearly as often as I'd like to eat them because they are time consuming. When I do make them, I try to do lots and freeze a batch too! They go straight from my freezer to my deep fryer and cook up in minutes! A good project for a friend and a bottle of wine, or the kids and/or grandkids! The youngsters enjoy the assembly line, and getting gooey! :lol: Egg mixture, flour mixture, crumb mixture... equals room for three kids!

I bought a deep fryer because my son was still sneaking out to KFC with his friends. He loves the gluten-free fried chicken nuggets that I make for him now.

I soak the chicken in a mixture of buttermilk and beaten egg for an hour. Then I shake the nuggets in a mixture of cornmeal, sweet rice flour, salt, pepper and paprika. I put them in the deep fryer for about 7 or 8 mins. and drain on paper towels.

For processed gluten-free chicken nuggets--a company, Ians, makes them and they're really terrific. About 12 in a package, but make sure it says gluten-free on the box because they make them gluten-free and non-gluten-free and the boxes look almost identical.

My mom made the chicken nuggets wiht potato chips for my family once--everyone liked them--I think I'd rather eat the Ians....they're good--just, if you make them, don't expect them to look normal--because they don't--taste isn't bad, though :)

Just wanted to add that I used BAKED Lay's Potato Chips so that took away some of the calories and fat. I was looking for something that was like what we had before and this came closest.

Mrsfish,

For your daughter who is allergic to dairy, she could eat the gluten-free nuggets--if she can have egg, then you just dip the meat in the egg, then roll it in Lays Classic Potato Chips crushed by a blender--the potato chips you would use for the recipe are dairy-free, lactose-free, casein-free (see the following lists):

For your son--they have a list of FritoLays products that CONTAIN egg--just subtract these, which mostly include cookies, from all of the other products and you have your egg-free list, which again includes Lays Classic potato chips. If an egg substitute would work all right with it (and I'm not sure if it would), he too could have the chip nuggets, which look strange, but if you and your children can get by that, taste really good for homemade. Now, the egg-CONTAINING list:

Besides potato chips, gluten-free pretzels and corn flakes you can also use crushed gluten-free rice crispies for breading. It tastes a lot like bread crumb breading on fried foods. I usually throw some gluten-free rice crispies into the food processor with my gluten-free bread when I am making gluten-free bread crumbs because it makes it go further. It doesn't have the corn-y flavor that corn flakes have.

Ok I made homemade chicken nuggets for my daughter today...and she loved them! I used rice flour, little onion powder,salt and pepper. They really tasted great! I baked them. They were a little dusty still. Any suggestions for that? Less dreging maybe?

I made tenders dipped in egg, all purpose gluten-free flour and ground up chex-style cereal, fried in vegetable oil 5 min. each side, and it was yummy. I salted them a bit also, but I will try a little paprika in the mix next time.

Thanks so much for these ideas! Maybe I'll try crumbs or corn flakes next time, but the rice-chex (gluten-free) tasted a lot like the real thing.

Yeah, the problem with dredging and baking is there is nothing to wet the flour. I don't know how nuggets will turn out this way, but when I fry chicken like that, I put a big slab of butter on top of each one, and that crisps up the flour nicely. You can even pour a little broth over it while it's cooking to do the same thing.

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      Regarding the discrimination you asked about, it is a lot more easy now to discriminate when you're supposed to answer whether or not you have celiac disease on job applications, and from what I've seen, MANY companies now include this question on their applications:

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      It's too bad relationships end because of this disease, but I suppose that being healthy may be more important than being married or living with someone who isn't on board with the gluten-free diet.

      When Home Isn't Safe: Celiac Disease, Cross-Contamination, and the Right to a Gluten-Free Space

      This is a huge topic. My ex husband didn't care. Even though I had my own area where his food wasn't allowed, I'd find crumbs. I was always constantly cleaning. I threw a lot of food away because I wouldn't be sure if he had contaminated it. It really showed what a narcissistic person he was and is. Now I'm in my own home. Much better. I do have dogs...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years.

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly. I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge...

Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.
