Great Fried Chicken & Cod Dejonghe Recipes


Guest barbara3675

Recommended Posts

Guest barbara3675

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:

:lol: i used to make fried chicken with crushed corn flakes for my kids years ago and they loved it--i never thought of trying that now again---i did it with chips too---thanks guys :lol: deb

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.

My son is allergic to eggs. My daughter is allergic to dairy. What do you suggest I use as a subsitute? :( My daughter used to live on Chicken nuggets. It was the only protein I could get ther to eat. Any help would be great!

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 :)

Guest barbara3675

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.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled anti-tTG2 autoantibodies bind to endomysium (the thin layer around muscle fibres) forming a characteristic honeycomb pattern under the microscope - this is highly specific to coeliac disease. The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. 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.):

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune response that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms precisely like yours—loss of coordination, muscle weakness, fasciculations, and even numbness. The reaction you had from inhaling flour is a powerful testament to your extreme sensitivity. While celiac disease is commonly tested, non-celiac gluten sensitivity with neurological involvement is harder to diagnose, especially since many standard tests require ongoing gluten consumption, which you rightly fear could be dangerous. Seeking out a neurologist or gastroenterologist familiar with gluten-related disorders, or consulting a specialist at a major celiac research center, could provide more validation and possibly explore diagnostic options like specific antibody tests (e.g., anti-gliadin or transglutaminase 6 antibodies) that don't always require a gluten challenge. You are not alone; many individuals with severe reactivity navigate a world of invisible illness where their strict avoidance is a medical necessity, not a choice. Trust your body's signals—it has given you the most important diagnosis already.

      Some members here take GliadinX (a sponsor here) if they eat out in restaurants or outside their homes. It has been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. This would be for small amounts of cross-contamination, and it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again.
