Looking forward to AnnieD's recipe!

Recently had this, crunchy pretzel, was surprised to find out it was Shake 'n Bake, not sure I ever had it before.

I just recently discovered that anything with gluten affects my joints-I am wondering if anyone knows if I could substitute the bread crumbs in this recipe with corn meal.

Ont_Gal reading through the comments, some used ground Corn Flakes instead of the bread crumbs. But I'm sure your corn meal would work.

Good idea Jas..thank you

Ont_Gal, you can purchase Kellogg Corn Flake Crumbs at the grocery, in the same aisle as you would find Shake 'N Bake.

My DM used seasoned flour in a paper bag before frying chicken parts.

Caution on the corn flake crumbs because in looking for the ingredients a warning was shown for Sugar Frosted Flakes not being gluten free because of the malt that is used as flavoring. Malt is made from toasted grains and those grains can include wheat and it is the second ingredient in the Kellogg Corn Flake Crumbs.

Malt makes my joints ache if I eat too much. I love Whoppers malt balls and know I will hurt.

Rhizo-thank you-I willl certainly check that out

Chisue-They sound good, but likely have the gluten in them-thanks just the same

maifleur-I have been checking out a lot of products and am finding a lot of them might not have gluten, but have possibly been exposed in factory after a gluten product was produced.....thank you as well-I am going to pick up some Whoppers and see what happens ;)

I'm wondering if you can just use the seasonings as a rub and just brush some oil on the chicken and then add the rub on top. I have some boneless chicken breasts thawing right now and because of arthritis in my hands I try to avoid gluten. But the seasonings sound really good so I'm going to try a mix of the seasonings.

There could be things other than the malt in the Whoppers that could cause problems. Look at your overall diet because each person is different and what affects one person might not bother another. I never connected some foods to my itchy eyes and aching joints until I found a allergist that did the testing by putting stuff under the skin. I can eat all of them in moderation with little problem. Too much depending on what they are I can have problems. My other pain in the joint foods are peanut butter and rice.

Has anyone tried smoked paprika in this? Just wondering what that would be like with the rest of the spices and herbs that are included.

Smoked paprika always reminds me of kielbasa, so I can't get past that.

Okay - no smoked paprika. It's your recipe so I will follow it as posted, except for the bread crumbs if that's okay. :)

Now to mix it up without the smoked paprika.

We have gluten free breadcrumbs available in the shops here; I would expect they are in the US as well.

I find that smoked paprika comes in several types. I used to buy a Spanish one that came in two types sweet and hot. The sweet had a wood smoke taste to it and to my tongue was hotter than the hot. The hot had a fruity taste the other did not and was richer smelling and tasting. I think it would depend on the type of paprika and what you are planning on using it for. The original Shake and Bake did have paprika in it.

Colleenoz-
I'm certain that there will be gf crumbs of some sort available-this is all totally new to me, so I am still checking out items in the stores...now with our current lockdown, just doing some research in a grocery store will not be happening(Canadian here).

However, I certainly do intend to check all of the above out-thanks everyone!

If your grocery has online ordering I would think they have an online catalogue as well, or you could call and ask.

You don’t need to buy bread crumbs. Gf loaves are easy to find. Leave a few slices to get stale and bread crumbs are easy to make either in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Or you can use polenta for crumbing. That’s gf. I’ve never crumbed meat but it works for fishcakes, falafel and croquettes.

I like Shake and Bake once in a while for baked pork chops but chicken gets shaken in a mix of flour, salt and pepper, and paprika. Then it gets fried in hot oil in a stainless steel electric skillet. I don't use S&B often enough to make a batch of home made.
