AND THE WINNER IS .... COMFORT FOOD!!!

OH YEAH! Comfort food is here at last.
This is a recipe I saw on Rachael Ray's show and made GFCF for my family. It was gobbled up fast and whatever was left over made a great addition to my salad the next day.

CHICKEN NUGGETS

Take a bag of frozen Chicken Tenderloins (Trader's Joe's) and thaw. When thawed, chop into bite - size pieces. Place chicken in a bowl with 6 splashes of Louisiana hot sauce (GF) and mix till coated.

In another bowl put 1 1/2 Cups of any GF prepared pancake mix (I used Bob's red mill but trader Joe's has a brand too.).

In a third bowl put 2 Cups GF pancake mix with 1-2 Cups water and mix together. Add another 6 small splashes of hot sauce ( this is not hot when finished, REALLY.) This batter should be on the thin side.

In a big soup pot, pour in one bottle of a light cooking oil, like canola. Turn on the heat to medium. You can test to see if the oil is hot enough by taking a wooden spoon and putting it in the oil ( spoon side up). If bubbles form around the stick, the oil is ready to use.

Next, take the chicken and dip it in the bowl with the dry pancake mix and then drudge through the prepared pancake mix and then drop in oil. You can place about 6 or so pieces of chicken in the oil at one time. When the chicken is golden brown, take out of the oil and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle the chicken with salt as soon as removed from the oil.

Serve with dipping sauce. My kids like ketchup, but my husband and I like the cilantro mayo dip (see above).
