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.

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!

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage. Outcomes of Seropositive Patients with Marsh 1 Histology in Clinical Practice https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4980207/ There's a move to be less reliant on endoscopy for diagnosis.

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?

      are these gluten free, I know that they don't devote space and there could be cross contamination but can they be eaten by celiac person?
