Gluten Free Chicken Fingers
Posted on 14 April 2010
Heather has some fun dietary needs and cooking dinner can sometimes be an adventure. In times past, it was a little easier when we were vegetarians for about 12 years. We later added fish to our diets and were “pescetarian” for an additional 4 years. However, a little over 2 years ago Heather found out she was allergic to wheat and dairy and the road back to eating meat began.
Anyway, there are meat dishes that are still off limits; burgers on a bun, meat lover pizza or deep fried foods, like chicken fingers. While there’s GF bread to use as a bun, even GF pizza crust, there’s just nothing to work in the deep fried area of the food pyramid. So I fixed that!
Using some gluten free biscuit mix as the breading, I cut up the chicken breasts into better sizes and took care of business. I “floured” the chicken, dipped in an egg wash, and re-dipped into the “flour.” After some sitting, I let the chicken bath in a pot of 350 degree oil until done.
I hope this helps some other gluten free people who have been missing chicken fingers, I know it did Heather.
