How Do I Get Breading to Stick on Homemade Fried Chicken?

[consigliere31]

Wanting to make homemade fried chicken but finding it impossible to get the breading to stick on the chicken. I’ve tried every tip or idea and nothing has worked. As soon as I put it in the frying pan the breading crumbles off. What is your no fail recipe. Thank you.

Here is the method - don't switch them up.
Flour - egg - bread/crumbs

@lizjan yes. I also have found almond flour sticks better than wheat flour.

Soak in buttermilk then dredge in flour/breadcrumbs

 

[sammyd]

i just use milk and breadcrumbs. You can also try shaking in a freezer bag, just like shake n bake

Hot grease cook one side til done then flip and Cindy Saayman's breading with seasoning added

I soak mine in buttermilk and egg for about 30 minutes then toss in flour. Never have a problem with the breading falling off.

I learned that it comes off if you don't press the crumbs hard enough to thebchicken to actually stick and don't turn it too quickly either

 

[artziemer]

Flour first, then egg

Make sure the grease is hot and don’t turn it until it’s brown and ready to turn.

Also make sure your drying your chicken off. Just pat it with a paper towel before you start breading. I promise, this works wonders.

@adam100 and I do the opposite. I get my chicken wet and then dredge in flour. Make sure you oil is very hot when you first lay your chicken in it then turn it to low. Get it hot again when you flip it and low again. It helps to sear that breading onto the chicken.

@adam100.... i keep my chicken wet also before flouring it

Grease may not be hot enough

 

[aliaanderson]

Make sure your pan is hot enough

 

[theloneranger79]

I do flour, egg, flour/crushed saltine cracker. Then, I lay them on a parchment paper lined sheet tray and put in the freezer for just a bit before frying.

 

[mammam]

@theloneranger79 yup

 

[jenniet]

Pat chicken down, then flour, then egg wash (milk and eggs), bread crumbs or panko or another coating of flour.

The grease needs to be hotter!
