Canola Oil/ Breading For Chicken


GFreeMO

Recommended Posts

GFreeMO Proficient

I have been really trying to cut down on the amount of soy that I eat. I decided to switch to canola oil for baking. I have read online that canola oil my or may not be safe for celiacs. Is canola oil gluten free and safe for us? I ditched the soybean oil so hopefully this one is ok. I like olive oil but not for baking.

With that said, what do you use to bread things with? I wonder if stale Udi's would work as breading..or crushed corn or rice chex.

Thanks!

All the canola oil I am aware of (here in Canada) is gluten-free. Right now I have so many oils on hand it's not even funny (all serve different purposes due to smoking point, flavour, etc.).

What sort of thing will you be breading? Using an eggwash, buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, etc. allow better adherence. I use my homemade bread heels for breading the odd time (I don't bread much) as well as making them into croutons. You can also use ground certified gluten-free oats (if you can have them), lentils (my favourite), dried mushrooms such as porcini (adds great flavour as well). For those a spice grinder would be best. I use mine often. You can purchase gluten-free crumbs (too bad there is no such thing as authentic gluten-free Panko crumbs - Kinnikinnick has crumbs labeled Panko but that is a total joke). If you have any gluten-free crackers you like you can use those, too, as well as potato chips. Or even pretzels - they are especially good with thick cut bone-in pork chops and rack of lamb. Sometimes I grind nuts such as hazelnuts to add to the pretzels.

Canola oil is gluten-free.

I also use finely ground corn chex that I add different spices to depending on what I am cooking. Great for chicken or pork chops.

Also, a light dusting with chick pea flour can add some nice browning and flavor to meat.

I use my bread heels only for only bread crumbs in meatloafs, meatballs etc...

I have used pretzels as a coating on chicken and like it but gluten-free pretzels are hard and it takes a bit to get them small enough to coat with. I only have a mini chopper not a food processor.

happy cooking

Canola is absolutely gluten-free. All cooking oils are gluten-free unless something's been added, as in the Pam baker's spray.

I save up the end pieces of Udi's bread, cut it into 1 inch cubes and dry it in the oven at 300 until it is crisp all the way through. Then crumble it for bread crumbs or quickly saute in olive oil and garlic for crutons.

How do you coat in lentils and what goes well coated in them? I'm intrigued, never heard of it.

Would red lentils work? I bought several pounds of red in bulk and hate their texture cooked (way too mushy), yet still haven't found a breading I like much.

I tend to be an adventurous and experimental cook! :D Some may think it I am OTT but I LOVE it!

Anyway, do you have a spice grinder or food processor? My mortar and pestle does not work to grind the lentils as they are too hard. I grind in my spice grinder - not to the point where it is powdery but still maintains some texture. Red lentils do tend to get mushy but would work for grinding/coating. Are you able to get lentils de puy? They are FABULOUS for grinding (and every other lentil dish). They do not fall apart and therefore are wonderful in soups, braised in red wine with chorizo, etc.

I do not bread much because I prefer to sear in a screaming hot cast iron skillet without and then make pan sauces or whatever but sometimes a nice fine coating can be nice. Do you ever make tempura out of rice flour and club soda? Excellent with many vegetables and seafood.

Ground lentils are lovely on lamb, duck, pheasant and game but if you are not into that it is also nice on chicken (especially flavourful thighs) and pork. It adds a bit of crunch and texture but does not become gummy or mushy like some breading can. Goes nicely with ground porcini and a touch of seasoning. I like to use lentils as they add much-needed fibre as well.

If you do not have a spice grinder and enjoy cooking it is SO worth purchasing. I used mine about six or seven times today to pulverize dried chiles to make some blends and rubs. I also grind all sorts of dried mushrooms, cacao nibs, rice and spices in it. It is one of my favourite things in the kitchen.

Have you considered rubs for chicken instead of breading? They are super simple and there are literally thousands of combinations and add tons of flavour. (Oh, I forgot to add in my previous response that Parmesan added to breading is very good.)

Anyway, you can do either wet or dry rubs. An example of a wet rub would be chopped rosemary and thyme, crushed garlic, finely minced Thai chile and olive oil. An example of a dry rub would be a BBQ rub which may include some salt, brown sugar, chile powder, garlic salt, a touch of cayenne and mustard powder (which I always do for baby back ribs and let sit for 24 hours). Or how about Creole or jerk?

This wet rub is just one of about 983,401 recipes I have. Very simple and tasty with no wild and crazy ingredients that I am known to use!

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
