Gluten Free Pretzel coated Chicken


It's Day3 of new recipe Day from the cookbook Healthy Country Cooking. Today, I chose the recipe for Surprise Oven chicken because of the pretzel coating and hot sauce marinade.


The original recipe calls for regular salty pretzel, but the only pretzel I had in my pantry was the Gluten Free sesame pretzels (glutenfreemall.com) so that I decided to just make it all gluten free version anyway. If you have not problems with gluten, then by all means use regular pretzels and whole wheat flour.




Marinate Overnight: (place in ziploc bag and refrigerate)




1lb chicken thighs


2c milk


1tsp hot sauce


2tsp lemon juice


garlic, crushed






To cook: Mix the coating




2c Crushed or finely processed gluten free (or regular salty) pretzels


1 tsp sea salt


1tsp garlic powder


pinch of oregano




Drain the marinade, and roll each chicken in the pretzel coating. Lay on wax paper for 15 minutes.


Preheat oven to 400F. Pour 1/4 c olive oil in baking dish and place it in the oven for 15 minutes.


Remove from oven, place chicken skin side down on baking dish for 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and place baking dish back in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until well done.




**My review of the recipe: Marinating the chicken in milk overnight somewhat made the chicken tender. However, if you want to kick it up a notch feel free to add more hotsauce and garlic. I had to bake longer until the skin turned nice golden brown. The bottom part was soggy though.

Passed: the taste was good enough for my toddler.

Jollibee fried peach mango pie

Hmmm.  I went to Jollibee in Jersey city, NJ to get one of the peach mango pies.  Unfortunately they were out, so I got the banana langka instead. Then I had one of those light bulb moments to make my own Peach mango pie.  Crazy huh?  The important thing was the filling.  The filling would be a little bit hard if the yellow ripe mangoes were out of season.  Luckily Del Monte now sells them in the little plastic cups.  Filling: 1 C of yellow sliced and cubed mangoes, ripe and peaches  or Del Monte cubed mangoes and peaches with syrup 2 T peach jam preserves 1T white sugar In a little saucepan, cook the mangoes in sugar for 1 minute in medium heat until mangoes soften.  Add the peach jam and mix. Simmer for another 1 minutes.   Transfer to a bowl and cool in refrigerator. Crust: Buy the PUFF pastry crust from the supermarket.  Lay out and cut in squares.   Add the mango peach filling.  Top with ...

Mango Cream Pie

For mother's day, a friend of mine gave me 2 yellow mangoes. Mangoes has to be my favorite fruit. My brother shared with me a mango cream pie recipe along with my friend's mother who made it out of mango puree. This recipe is sort of a combination of both. The best mango cream pie has yet to be from Red Ribbon bakery...sweet crust, mangoes and whipped cream. For good results get sweet ripe mangoes for this recipe or add some white sugar to it. If you can't find any good mangoes, you can also try mango puree and just mix it with the cream mixture.
