Tag: Gluten free fried chicken

According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, even a tiny amount of gluten, equivalent to a crumb, can cause significant small intestinal damage for those with celiac disease. This raises a critical question for many food lovers: Can celiacs have fried chicken? The short answer is, it depends entirely on the preparation, ingredients, and risk of cross-contamination.

Chick-fil-A's official allergen information confirms that all of their fried, breaded chicken items contain wheat and are therefore not gluten-free. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, this means the classic fried chicken sandwich and nuggets are not safe to consume.
