Why it works

  • Celiac disease: Cornstarch crisps the chicken and the glaze uses certified gluten-free tamari, not soy sauce.
  • Gluten-free: Tamari, not soy sauce, builds the sticky glaze; the coating is cornstarch, never flour.

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
