What Is Brinner? And Where Did you Get Those English Muffins? 

If you’ve never heard this term before, it means “breakfast for dinner.” You can enjoy my gluten free chicken sausage as a side with buckwheat pancakes or my gluten free Blueberry French Toast Casserole. However, I enjoy them as part of a breakfast sandwich, preferably with Canyon Bakehouse’s Gluten Free English Muffins. 

These whole grain English muffins are shelf stable, and are gluten, dairy, nut and soy free. Use the Canyon store locator to find them in a store near you. Don’t eat grains? Try Mikey’s grain free English Muffins, or Lila Ruth’s recipe for Grain Free English Muffins. 

What Ingredients Do You Use in Your Chicken Sausage?

That’s a great question. I make my gluten free chicken sausage with ground chicken, and Penzey’s Fox Point seasoning. This chicken sauage recipe also uses applesauce. Why?  It gives it just a hint of sweet, while also tenderizing the meat. 

Other than that, it’s simple salt, pepper and onion. When I originally made this recipe in 2017, I used this Lakeshore Drive Seasoning I received in a subscription box. While it’s still available, I find myself shopping at Penzey’s more often. I love using their dried lemon and orange peel in baked goods! 

Tips on Frying the Perfect Egg

My gluten free sausage partners well with a fried egg for a delicious gluten free breakfast sandwich. When I’m in a hurry in the morning, I’ll often just crack an egg into a small dish, give a quick whisk with a fork, and cook it in a pan like an omelete. Add cheese or other spices as you please. 

However, if you want a fried egg, this method seems to work best for me. First, I oil and heat my 10″ iron skillet. Usually on medium heat for 5 minutes. Then I crack the egg, add it to the pan, THEN turn down the heat. This way it cooks the egg white thoroughly, but doesn’t overcook it. Then I allow it to cook about 10 min. more until the whites are set. Visit The Incredible Egg site for more tips on how to fry an egg, perfectly. 

Other Gluten Free Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast foods are my most favorite type of food. My “Easiest Breakfast Sandwich Ever” recipe is great for meal prep. Pair it with any of these other grab and go gluten free breakfast ideas for quick start to the morning. Even if it’s just a bowl of gluten free cereal, it’s important to start the day with something in your tummy. 

Looking for something more elaborate? Try my gluten free breakfast casserole for two, or my mashed potato crust quiche. It sounds odd, but it’s truly amazing! Or, get creative and make my gluten free breakfast pizza, made with a gluten free biscuit crust. Looking for something sweet? Try one of these 10 gluten free cinnamon roll recipes.

Foster Farms Gluten Free Honey Crunch Corn Dogs

I first discovered the Foster Farms Gluten Free Honey Crunchy Corn Dogs at my local Kroger store, back in 2014. Which is highly impressive, as I don’t live in a nice part of town. I SO wanted to try them. However, I don’t have children and knew if I bought them I’d quickly eat the whole 12 count box. Then I received  an email from Foster Farms wanting to know if I would like to review the Foster Farms Gluten Free Honey Crunch Corn Dogs. As in, we’ll send you a box for FREE.  Well of course I said yes! That’s such a friendly thing for them to do!

Made From Chicken, Not Pork

Now it’s 2018 and I’m updating some of my old posts. Okay, let’s just be honest. I loved them so much I just wanted an excuse to buy more! One of the “bonuses” of these Foster Farms gluten free honey crunch corn dogs is that they really are leaner than regular ones. They are made from chicken instead of fatty pork. So I wanted to come up with some “healthier” side dishes to pair with these dogs. I really didn’t want to do potatoes, because that’s just more starch. So I chose to make a recipe for “Healthy Baked Carrot Fries” I found on the Internet, from 2 Teaspoons.

Carrot Fries????

Can I just that these were AWESOME?! Your kiddo will have no idea they are eating carrots instead of sweet potatoes. You slice the carrots thin, toss them in a tiny bit of oil, then coat them with salt and a bit of garlic powder. Telling ya, this will CHANGE YOUR WORLD. I may never want to eat French Fries again! But I digress.

I also paired these Foster Farms  gluten free honey crunch corn dogs with barbecued lentils (which cook quicker than beans) and short and sweet fruit kabobs. Some are successfully on spaghetti strands. Note, use fresh fruit, not frozen and thawed fruit, because it gets all soggy and makes the pasta break. I may or may not know this from personal experiences.

Certified Gluten Free Corn Dogs

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Foster Farms gluten free corn dogs, Foster Farms corn dogs are the #1 selling corn dog in America. Their gluten-free corn dogs are certified by the Gluten Intolerance Group, contain less than 10ppm of gluten per serving, and they feature a 100% chicken frank dipped twice in a honey crunchy batter. (As my husband’s system is apparently intolerant to pork, this last fact was a major bonus!) Foster Farms Gluten Free Honey Crunch Corn Dogs are also certified by the American Humane Association for their poultry raising practices.

Where Can I Find Foster Farms Gluten Free Corn Dogs?

You can dip these Foster Farms  gluten free honey crunch corn dogs in your favorite dipping sauce. Ketchup. Mustard. Barbecue Sauce. But seriously, they were so good, I don’t feel they need it. In addition, I was REALLY impressed with the breading! It was the perfect thickness and completely in tact. No falling apart like other gluten-free corn dog bites I’ve tried. It was firm but not dry and there was a perfect ratio of breading to hot dog. All in all, a big thumbs up.

So where can you find these amazing hand held delights? Foster Farms gluten free honey crunch corn dogs are available nationwide at many retailers. The list includes Safeway (Von’s, Randall’s. Tom Thumb), Kroger (Fry’s, Smith’s), Raley’s, Lucky, Albertsons, Giant Eagle, Woodman’s, Copps/Roundy’s, Schnuck’s, Food Lion, HyVee and Marsh.  You can also call Foster Farms at 1-800-255-7227 for help finding a retailer near you.
