Sweet Potato Chips



Potato allergy, Soy allergy, Peanut, Corn.....






Get a mini deep fryer and fill it with Canola oil.



Set it to 335F and get out some Sweet Potatoes.

Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Salt
spices if desired
Deep fryer
Canola oil
Mandoline slicer

Wash the sweet potatoes and peel them.
Slice them on the thin setting of your slicer or about 1/16 - 1/8 inch thick

Remove the basket from the fryer and add roughly a cup of sweet potatoes and slowly lower into the hot oil. There is a lot of moisture in sweet potatoes so the will be a lot of bubbles when they first start to cook.
Using a metal spatula gently stir to ensure the slices do not stick together.
Watch carefully as the slices turn darker, remove from the oil and dump into a large Stainless bowl and toss with salt. Enjoy.

GF Chicken Tenders



Welcome again to the wonderful journey of GF cooking. Lest take a turn making Chicken Tenders like mother used to make. (minus the bleached AP flour) Popeye's Move over, KFC should stand for Kyle Fouch's (Chickpea) Chicken






Chickpea Chicken Tenders



Here we are working with a standard breading procedure.

1 1/2 pounds od boneless chicken breasts
2 eggs beaten until no longer stringy
Flour mix ( 2 cups of chickpea/garbanzo bean flour and 3/4 cup tapioca starch flour)
Herbs and spices - 1 T Salt, 1 T black pepper, 1T various herbs ( oragano, basil, parsley) 1t white pepper, cayenne as needed.
Set deep fryer filled with canola oil to a temperature of 335 Degrees
Mix flour and herbs and spices together and put in bowl.
Cut chicken breasts into cubes for nuggets or strips for tenders.
Dredge chicken in flour mix and shake to remove excess flour, then dip into egg mix. Let it drip slightly then place into the flour mixture and gently shake to fully coat the chicken.
Set aside on a dry baking sheet.
Repeat until all chicken is complete.
Lift basket from the hot oil and place an appropriate amount for the size fryer you own. Slowly lower the chicken into the fryer.
Cook until an internal temp of 165 degrees or until chicken floats.
If you are unsure if the chicken if totally cooked, bake in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes after frying.
Once all the chicken is completed get out the ranch and BBQ sauce and enjoy. They will become a family favorite and the kids ( and GF grown-ups) will be coming back, begging for more.
