Need Breading!

[cammiec]

I am allergic to wheat, buckwheat, flax, rye, and oats.  (And a list of other things. Lol) I would love to find a breading I could use to make chicken nuggets and things like that.  I know they make chicken nuggets that are gluten free, but they are seasoned with garlic which I also cannot have.

[SilverLining]

An long time ago, I used to make a breading for chicken balls. The main ingredient was baby pablum.  It was more a batter than a breading, and after dipping the chicken pieces in it, it was deep fried.  The original recipe I had involved chopping up the chicken, mixing ingredients and forming balls. Personally, I preferred using chunks of chicken.

Sorry I can't remember more, but, maybe you can try some experiments, flavouring with stuff safe for you,

Corn meal. I've never had chicken that way, but I've had plenty of fish that way. And hush puppies. Blue corn, yellow corn--each has a bit different flavor. I don't know if you can find it free from your allergens, though.

What is baby pablum actually?

What is baby pablum actually?

I know Pablum was invented in Toronto at Sick Kids, but you don't have it in the US?

It's a baby cereal.  Kind of flaked.  You add liquid (water, milk, or juice) and mix to the consistency appropriate for your baby's age.  It starts with rice, and then there are different kids, oats, etc.  personally, loved the mixed fruit.  (It was a major breakfast treat to my brother and I when we were way beyond baby food stage. Lol)

We call that cereal.

I have heard the term, and it's either used as a derogatory term or refers to something babies eat, but it's an old fashioned term for that. It wasn't in use when DS was little where I was--or in the parenting mags and books I read.

And all pop is cola?

We distinguish between baby cereal and other cereal with the name Pablum.

Cammiec, are you able to eat Corn Flakes?  I use Corn Flake crumbs to bread chicken pieces, drum sticks, thighs, whatever.

There are some recipes on their site I think, and on YouTube.  I soak the pieces in Italian salad dressing, then coat in the crumbs and bake,

[cammiec]

That sounds delicious!  I actually eat frosted flakes, which is one of the three cereals I can have.  Can't do Italian dressing though, garlic =( I wonder if it would soak in balsamic vinegar?  I cook with that sometimes.

I'd never heard of Pablum!  Maybe it is similar to malt-o-meal?

[hedgehog]

Italian dressing is just oil, vinegar, and herbs and spices.  You can mix up your own oil and vinegar with whatever seasonings you like and can have.  It works just as well as the bottled stuff, and tastes even better.

Here's a slightly different recipe.

You can buy cornflake crumbs, or put regular flakes in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. 

Some of these recipes will also work with Rice Krispie cereal.  (I'm not sure they are safe for you though.  Seems to me someone here that can't eat wheat buys a gluten free rice cereal.)

A derogatory term?  I can't figure it out.

Trite, naive, simplistic, dumbed down. More regarding ideas than people (although by extension it does say something about the person/people behind the idea).
