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

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum community, @ekelsay! Yes, your tTG-IGA score is strongly positive for celiac disease. There are other antibody tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease but the tTG-IGA is the most popular with physicians because it combines good sensitivity with good specificity, and it is a relatively inexpensive test to perform. The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life and the size of the score is not necessarily an indicator of the progress of the disease. It is likely that you you experienced onset well before you became aware of symptoms. It often takes 10 years or more to get a diagnosis of celiac disease after the first appearance of symptoms. In my case, the first indicator was mildly elevated liver enzymes that resulted in a rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross at age 37. There was no GI discomfort at that point, at least none that I noticed. Over time, other lab values began to get out of norm, including decreased iron levels. My PCP was at a complete loss to explain any of this. I finally scheduled an appointment with a GI doc because the liver enzymes concerned me and he tested me right away for celiac disease. I was positive and within three months of gluten free eating my liver enzymes were back to normal. That took 13 years since the rejection of my blood donation by the Red Cross. And my story is typical. Toward the end of that period I had developed some occasional diarrhea and oily stool but no major GI distress. Many celiacs do not have classic GI symptoms and are "silent" celiacs. There are around 200 symptoms that have been associated with celiac disease and many or most of them do not involve conscious GI distress. Via an autoimmune process, gluten ingestion triggers inflammation in the villous lining of the small bowel which damages it over time and inhibits the ability of this organ to absorb the vitamins and minerals in the food we ingest. So, that explains why those with celiac disease often suffer iron deficiency anemia, osteoporosis and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiency related medical issues. The villous lining of the small bowel is where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. So, yes, anemia is one of the classic symptoms of celiac disease. One very important thing you need to be aware of is that your PCP may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the blood antibody testing. So, you must not begin gluten free eating until that is done or at least you know they are going to diagnose you with celiac disease without it. If you start gluten free eating now there will be healing in the villous lining that will begin to take place which may compromise the results of the biopsy.

      Recently Diagnosed Celiac- Need advice

      By Anmol · Posted

      Hello all- my wife was recently diagnosed with Celiac below are her blood results. We are still absorbing this.  I wanted to seek clarity on few things:  1. Her symptoms aren't extreme. She was asked to go on gluten free diet a couple years ago but she did not completely cut off gluten. Partly because she wasn't seeing extreme symptoms. Only bloating and mild diarrhea after a meal full of gluten.  Does this mean that she is asymptomatic but enormous harm is done with every gram of gluten.? in other words is amount gluten directly correlated with harm on the intestines? or few mg of gluten can be really harmful to the villi  2. Why is she asymptomatic?  3. Is Gliadin X safe to take and effective for Cross -contamination or while going out to eat?  4. Since she is asymptomatic, can we sometimes indulge in a gluten diet? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deamidated Gliadin, IgG - 64 (0-19) units tTG IgA -  >100 (0-3) U/ml tTG IgG - 4   (0-5) Why is this in normal range? Endomysial Antibody - Positive  Immunoglobulin A - 352 (87-352) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for help in advance, really appreciate!

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
