The Un-Gluten Guy (My Gluten Free Recipes & GF Adventures)

One of things that is probably a staple for a child growing up in America is battered and fried chicken.  Whatever it is called or whatever shape it may come in, kids like it.  There are a few GF brands that you can buy and keep in your freezer but we wanted something a little more fresh and natural. The nice thing about this is that it makes for a great hot meal the day it is prepared.  But, placed in the freezer it makes a great lunch or dinner when the kids are hungry or when time is limited - defrost - bake in toaster oven - place in front of hungry child - gone! This is my wifes domain.  My wife usually gets this done when I'm at work and the kids are at school.  This time I was able to help a little because we were away on vacation. This is not only for kids.  We use it for a quick pasta and chicken parmesan night.  I have made sandwiches with it - chicken parm, buffalo chicken & lettuce, tomato, onion with bbq sauce (we like Bone Sucki...

So it is NHL Playoff time and we were watching the Flyers beat the Devils in Game one and what better to snack on then Buffalo Wings. Unfortunately, these are off the menu for me since most places fry their wings and I have yet to find a place that makes wings that has a dedicated Gluten Free fryer. At home I have fried my wings, baked my wings and more recently I have been grilling them.  Once I get my wings I wash and dry them them season them with a mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. I get the grill nice and hot and grill until the meat is cooked through. For the sauce I use the following 1/2 Cup of  Frank's Red Hot Original 1/4 Cup Butter 1 clove minced garlic 1 tsp rice wine vinegar 1 - 3 drops of jalapeno Tabasco Heat a sauce pan and melt the butter.  Add the garlic but do not let it burn.  Add the hot sauce and stir.  Last add the vinegar and Tabasco.  Pour over the wings and toss to coat. Enjoy,...

So we put together dinner.  Well my wife started and left everything on the counter for me to cook.  Not only was it good and healthy but the kids liked it and I had leftovers for lunch. Lemon Chicken She got the recipe  here Essentially you marinate a whole chicken with salt and lemon juice.  Our lemon tree is full so this was a perfect recipe for us.  Marinate it overnight. Oven to 425.  Make a Gremolata which is a combination of parsley, garlic and lemon zest and rub over the chicken with butter. For the gremolata you can zest one lemon, finely chop one bunch of flat leaf parsley and mince one clove of garlic.  You can add more of either ingredient to you liking and add salt as needed. Cook 40 minutes then cover and reduce heat to 375 degrees.  Baste and cook until meat is 170 degrees Potatoes I had a bag of potatoes and 15 minutes.  Into the microwave for 5 minutes.  Cut them into quarters.  Heated a pan with butter...
