What Is The Best Flour To Use

Hello.

I want to make an oven-baked fried chicken recipe I just found and I need to dredge the chicken in flour. I'd be interested in knowing what flour you use to coat chicken pieces. I just don't know enough about what the individual flours are for. Or should I use something like Pamela's baking mix or maybe Grandma Ferdon's?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I'm not sure about oven-baked, but I have a recipe for pan-fried that uses corn flour. It only called out corn flour in the recipe but I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket so to speak and so I used 2/3 cup corn flour and 1/3 cup gluten-free flour mix (the basic rice flour - tapioca flour - corn starch mix). I thought it turned out great. Good enough so that the whole family ate gluten free fried chicken and not just my daughter.

Also - I found my corn flour at an Asian Market.

If you've got a good oven-baked recipe, please share, my kids don't care for baked or grilled chicken (which is what we usually have) and I won't do the fried chicken too often, for obvious reasons.

I usually use a 50 50 mix of corn flour and rice flour. Corn meal is also good with chicken if you're going to fry it, or oven fry it. I usually do a mix of corn and rice flour, salt and pepper and dried oregano. Comes out great. Tastes like I dredged in italian breadcrumbs.

I like to use Potato Buds with some garlic powder, salt and pepper .

I oven fry the chicken in a mixture of Smart Balance and olive oil.

I usually use about equal parts of corn starch, rice flour and cornmeal. I love chicken this way! It's very crunchy and the skin stays of chicken well throughout frying.

Polenta is good as well.

Patti - we don't have potato buds in the UK. Is that just instant potato?

I normally use finely crushed, stale tortilla chips or crushed stale pretzels. It makes a great breading that is different than normal fried chicken, but in my opinion, better.

I made mine by soaking chicken strips in eggs and bbq sauce, then tossing them in a bag with paprika, ground pepper, and crushed chips. I spray them with olive oil and bake. Everyone loved them!

Yes, any instant dried potato flakes would do :)

If you try it this way, a hint--start the chicken skin side down and turn with a spatula or pancake turner 1/2 way through baking. That way, the crust stays intact.

Darn210 -

Thank you. I will try this recipe and if it turns out good I will definitely share it with you! Unfortunately it will take me a couple of weeks - I work during the day (meals that take a long time to cook are a no-no for us Monday - Friday) and I'm gone for the next two weekends in a row...but if I can find the recipe I received, I'll post it here for you to try if you'd like!

Wow! Thanks everyone for the ideas. It's very appreciated. I can't wait to try this recipe! :D

Before my husband was diagnosed with celiac disease, I used to take a packet of Hidden Valley dry salad dressing and coat the chicken in that and then bake it (there were a few other ingreidents also I think). That was our absolute favorite way to haev chicken. Now, unfortunately, they can't promise that the mix is gluten-free. We were so disappointed. But now that I've seen this recipe, I'm ready to try again. Plus, it has that "fried" texture to it and I am looking forward to that since everything I fry gets burned! :rolleyes:

Thanks again!

The Gluten Free Pantry and also Kinnikinnick Foods have some great breading/coating mix. I make a baked chicken out of them that is SO good!!

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ryangf! If you don't have celiac disease you could still have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Some experts feel NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis of NCGS is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease by formal testing. At the end of the day the antidote for both is the same, namely, life-long abstinence from gluten. Yes, corn is a common cross-reactor with gluten for some celiacs. So are oats, soy, eggs and dairy.  I have concern with your possible exposure to wheat flour dust during your culinary training. It gets in the air, you breathe it in, it gets trapped in the mucous of your mouth and airway and winds up in your gut. If you decide to go forward wit the "gluten challenge" for formal celiac disease testing, aim for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for four weeks leading up to the day of either the blood draw or the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.
