WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

OVEN-BAKED 'FRIED' CHICKEN WITH A TWIST

1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk

1 tbsp cayenne pepper sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

5 lbs bone-in chicken pieces, skins removed

3 cups cornflake crumbs

1/3 cup white whole wheat flour or almond flour

1 tsp dried thyme

Line a baking sheet with foil and top with a wire rack. In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, hot sauce and garlic powder. Add chicken and toss to coat. Allow to stand for 1 hour.

Heat oven to 400-degrees. 

In a separate bowl, mix cornflakes, flour and thyme. Working with one piece at a time, coat with cooking spray. Bake at 400-degrees until golden and chicken is no longer pink in the center near the bone, 30-40 minutes. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. If foil is used, remove during last 5 minutes of baking time.
