Need Breading!

[SilverLining]

Oh My Goodness!

I'm watching Triple D.  Guy is at a place called Funk'n Waffles.  They are deep frying chicken pieces (wings I think) in waffle batter.  I bet pancake batter would work good too.

Similar to corn flakes, if you have a safe tortilla chip, those make a good breading when crushed.

Corn meal, corn flake crumbs, and I bet, rice flour, though I have not tired it, would all make a good coating for nuggets.  True deep frying may help as well.  If you can do eggs, dipping in eggs or mayo may help too.  Mayo especially if baking. 

I am sure you can find low carb/paleo recipes to avoid the grains.  Try using those terms in web searches.  and Wheat Belly is a book about avoiding grains and has a companion cook book.  I have not purchased it, but it may have good options, since it is all about avoiding grains in the diet.

Two tricks from my mom and not based on gluten free......just what she did.

Ends of safe cereals and cracker boxes.  Keep a jar in your pantry and fill as you go.  When I do this the flavors are always interesting in a good way.

For super crunch, my mom use to take left over waffles from breakfast, toast them some more in the toaster or oven and then she had a chopper thing she'd chop them with.  I think a food processor would work just not too fine.

And we did lots of cornflake chicken when I was a kid.

Oh tortilla chips, I didn't even think about that one!  I'm not interested in deep frying anything necessarily.  My stomach has enough trouble as it is without extra grease. Lol

An old chef trick is adding hard cheese rind leftovers to soups. Garlic is pungent so some pungent hard cheese would add some similar punch. I've seen corn and rice Chex recipes for breading subs.
