Crock pot Chicken Wings???

My recipe is for a smaller portion... for a party it would need to be quadrupled or so...

1 pound of Chicken Drumettes

2 Tblsp Vegetable Oil (for heat substitute Thai or Korean Chili oil)

1/2 Tsp Minced Garlic

2 Tblsp Ketchup or Gluten Free Barbeque Sauce

1 Cup of Honey

1/2 Cup of Gluten Free Soy Sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

For some heat add some Cayenne pepper... 1/2 tsp or so.

Place drumettes in slow cooker, season with salt and pepper. Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over the chicken. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low, stiring to rearrange the chicken in the sauce a couple of times.

By drumettes, do you mean the meatier "Upper arm" part of the wing?

Sounds great! thanks. I think my DH would LOVE these! (not that he needs the gluten-free! :blink: )

Hummus cups. Or Greek salad cups. Start with cucumbers. Cut them into thick chunks, about 1" or so thick. Use a melon baller or small spoon to hollow them out so that they are the shape of little cups.

Fill with homemade or prepared hummus. Or Greek salad. For that you can use some of the removed cucmber. Chop it up and mix with some finely chopped tomato, feta cheese and chopped Kalamatta olives.

Keep the whole party gluten-free, except maybe beer, We just had people from my hub's work over and that worked great. I didn't have to worry about what I could eat at the party or after. I can eat all the left-overs because no one got gluteny crumbs on anything.

We did a wine, cheese and chocolate party - 6 cheeses (with a little tag to say what they were), crackers, carrotts & red Pep slices with hummus, pineapple, grapes, 3 kinds of choc truffles, choc caramel brownies, peanut brittle, pistachios, meriange(sp?) cookies.

I find it hard to have hot apps coming out of the oven when people are here. Everyone seems to end up in the kitchen.

Yes, I usually get the drumettes (not the smaller end of the wing with less meat) especially if it's for guests... but it doesn't really matter... it's just more meat and less skin, a better appetizer that way.

Scallops with bacon.

This is awesome with corn chips. Buffalo chicken dip. I use cooked shredded chicken instead of the canned.

Chips and salsa, guacamole

spring rolls!

plain or seasoned nuts... like spiced pecans, or honey roasted cashews

white beans pureed with roasted red peppers and roasted garlic cloves, thinned to taste with olive oil (yeah, not a recipe where I've ever measured but it's always good)

Yum those white beans sound really good... I'm adding that one to my list and will give it a try, and I'm not even throwing a party. ;)

Try soaking waterchestnuts in gluten-free soy sauce (La Choy is safe) and wrapping in bacon. Bake until the bacon is done.

An antipasta plate with olives (several types) cheese, gluten-free salami, roasted red peppers (from a jar)and pickled asparagus (Sam's has it in a jar and it is safe)

I always use Maries. It's very thick and chunky and is in the refrigerated section with the produce.

For Christmas Eve I did make the Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps (link posted by tea-and-crumpets) and they were delicious! I used chicken breast tenders for them. PIA to make and took me twice as long as expected by everyone loved them so that made it worth it.

I also made the Mushroom-Pecan Appetizers (from the Live Gluten Freely website) and that recipe is a keeper, too. They're also good warmed up in the microwave.

Thanks for letting us know. I had copied/pasted the sweet chicken bacon wraps recipe. Will probably try it next year, but will give it your approval comment :)

I made the Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps for Christmas Eve as well. My family loved them! I made a few for me with just brown sugar as I'm avoiding all chili's peppers etc. I enjoyed them. Now I'm trying to find something to make for New years with all my restrictions. The wrapping did take some time,but I agree worth it ;)

I'm really glad people like the chicken bacon wraps! I should have mentioned that they're kind of a pain to make, totally worth it, though, in my opinion. I made them for Christmas Eve dinner with my family, too. I will definitely use chicken tenders next time, I never even thought of using them before.

Using chicken breast tenders is taking the easy way out! So much easier than dealing with chicken breasts. biggrin.gif

I do roasted chickpeas which is fairly cheap and healthy. Rinse and drain one can of chickpeas, dry them off a little. Add 2 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and garlic or onion powder. Bake at 450 for 30-40 minutes (until they are dry and brown like nuts). You could also add a bit of cayenne pepper if you like spicy things.

My party was a huge success, thank you all for the ideas! My FIL came over and was feeling bad for me having just been diagnosed in August. He asked what out of my two table spread I could eat. I said ALL OF IT!!! He's done feeling bad for me! :D

      mystery gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower! Can you be more specific about the gluten antibodies? Which ones were found? Do you have access to the report and can you post the results? What is a "GI map"? How was this done? Is this a fecal matter test? Are you still consuming oats? Even "Gluten-free" oats? Have you checked all meds and supplements for possible gluten fillers or casings? Oral hygiene products? Are you sharing cooking facilities with wheat eaters?

      mystery gluten?

      By AnneBSunflower · Posted

      Hi. I am looking for mystery gluten in my diet due to having a GI map done recently and the results found gluten antibodies. However, let me provide a bit of background. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. Ten years ago I consulted with a functional medicine doctor who put me on the AIP diet due to gastrointestinal distress. She did not diagnose me with celiac disease, but my thyroid antibodies skyrocketed when we reintroduced gluten after 6 months on the AIP diet. I have been maintaining a gluten free diet for 10 years. I have on again, off again gut issues, cannot lose weight, chronic vitamin deficiencies despite a diet focused on whole foods, and my thyroid numbers are whacky even with medication (my T3 is good, T4 chronically low, TSH low). My doctor diagnosed me this week as having celiac in addition to the Hashimoto's. Again, I have been eating gluten free for 10 years. My doctor says there is something I am eating that my body is reacting to that has gluten and I have inflammation in my gut. I don't buy anything that is processed without reading the label and it stating it is gluten free. I know things like soy sauce, salad dressing, potato chips (I haven't eaten a potato chip in probably 30 years), roasted nuts, lunch meat, etc. can have gluten. What else? Does Armour Thyroid have gluten? Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage (doesn't say gluten free, but there are no ingredients that would indicate gluten)? Philadelphia Cream cheese plant-based cream cheese says it is gluten free but it contains maltodextrin, could this still be a source of gluten? If the plant-based cream cheese with maltodextrin could be a source of gluten, could anything labeled gluten free but containing maltodextrin still be a source of gluten?

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu
