GLUTEN FREE KFC CHICKEN

Sabeena Bubber • January 19, 2016

Brine
4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup kosher salt
2 tsp. Each dried oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage
1 tsp. Granulated garlic
1\2 tip. Cayenne pepper
4 bone in chicken legs
4 bone in chicken thighs


Breading
½ cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used Robin Hood)
½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs (I used Presidents choice)
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Paprika
¼ tsp. Cayenne pepper
½ cup butter


To make buttermilk brine, in a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and salt. In a spice grinders or mortar, blend the remaining spices until finely ground.


Whisk the herbs and garlic into the buttermilk mixture. Add the chicken to the buttermilk brine ensuring that the chicken is completely covered. Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, breadcrumbs and spices. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and toss in the breadcrumbs.

Remove when nicely coated. Place butter and melt in the prepared baking dish.

Then place the chicken in the baking dish and bake at 400 degrees. Turn the chicken first after 15 minutes and then turn again every 10 minutes until a total time of 45 minutes has elapsed. Confirm by cutting to the bone, that the chicken is cooked completely throughout and add more time if needed. No more turning is required if the butter is coated through the crust and the chicken is now becoming crisp.


I have also used my T-Fal ActiFry for this recipe and put the butter with some canola oil in the bottom. The crust didn’t stick to the chicken as well but everyone loved it.

Fell Behind on a Payment? Don’t Panic—Here’s What to Do

By Sabeena Bubber • August 26, 2026
Missed a Credit Card or Line of Credit Payment? Here’s What to Do If you’ve missed a payment on a credit card or line of credit and you’re worried about how it might affect your credit—or your future mortgage—this is for you. First things first: 👉 If you currently have an overdue balance, log in and make the minimum payment now. Seriously. Do that first. Everything else can wait. If You’re Only a Few Days Late Here’s the good news: Credit bureaus don’t record late payments until they reach 30 days past due. So if you missed a due date by a few days and paid it as soon as you noticed, it typically won’t show up on your credit report as a late payment—as long as you’re under the 30-day mark. That said, it never hurts to double-check. You can call your credit card company, explain what happened, and confirm the account is back in good standing. If you normally pay on time, they may even reverse the interest charged. It doesn’t hurt to ask. If You’re 30, 60, or 90 Days Behind If payments have gone past 30 days, your credit has likely been impacted—but the situation is still fixable. The most important step is to: Bring all accounts current as soon as possible Make at least the minimum payment on every account The faster you catch up, the more you limit the damage. Ignoring missed payments only makes things worse. If Cash Flow Is Tight If you’re struggling to make payments, communication matters. Contact your lender and keep them informed—even if you can’t pay right away. Lenders are far more willing to work with you when you’re transparent. What hurts your credit most is silence . If lenders don’t hear from you after repeated missed payments, they may write the balance off as bad debt and send it to collections. Collections can significantly impact your credit and stay on your report for years. How This Affects Mortgage Qualification Repeated missed payments can make qualifying for a mortgage more difficult—but timing matters. Once you’re back to making regular, on-time payments: Your credit can improve over time The impact of past mistakes becomes less significant If you’re planning to buy a home in the next couple of years, addressing credit issues early gives you far more options later. Final Thoughts Missing a payment doesn’t mean you’re “bad with money,” and it doesn’t mean homeownership is off the table. What matters most is how quickly you respond and how consistent you are going forward .
