What better way to celebrate the Holiday weekend and the prime of cookout season with fried chicken. Max’s Wine Dive in Uptown hears the call of those who wish they could tear into a juicy piece of fried chicken, but can’t because of a gluten intolerance. Presenting, gluten friendly fried chicken in celebration of national fried chicken day.

MAX’S gluten friendly Fried Chicken is made with a blend of gluten free flour and dried cauliflower fibers, which create a fried-like coating, and is served with mashed potatoes and collard greens. In order to maintain a high level of quality, the gluten friendly Fried Chicken is fried in a separate fryer and prepared in an independent area, where exposure to gluten is less likely to occur.

I know what you’re thinking, “Where’s the fat free fried chicken so that I can chow down endlessly on my favorite southern cooking and maintain my summer body?!”. Friends, Dallasites, lend me your ear…baby steps. For now, head over to Max’s and get your fried chicken and gluten-friendly fried chicken on.

In addition to the gluten friendly Fried Chicken and gluten friendly “MAX’s Classic” Pulled Pork Stuff Piquillo Peppers, Executive Chef of MAX’s Wine Dive Dallas, Patrick Russell, also created a variety of gluten friendly items on his recently debuted summer menu. Menu items include The Standard with pan-roasted half chicken served with golden raisins and pickled, roasted and pureed cauliflower; Yellow Squash Soup with creamy squash scented with saffron; and Bigeye Tuna with seared #1 Bigeye tuna, stone fruit jam, fingerling confit and salsa verde.
