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

[dilvish]

Start with a dried off chicken. I prefer to do breading, egg, then dip again in breading. Also, make sure your oil is hot enough otherwise the breading will just come right off.

Bisquick baked fried chicken! It’s amazing

 

[taylorsexton]

Dip your chicken in mayo first then crumbs ..i use panko..

Buttermilk seasoned flour n again. N let sit for a few minutes. Then fry.

@believeall that’s what I do and my breading never falls off and gets super crunchy

 

[believeall]

@christian21 mmhmm.

@christian21 does that work for cube steak?

 

[shawpedro5]

@matthewlovesgod it’s just not as good on cube steak I prefer the egg wash on cube steak

 

[christian21]

Same!

@believeall dip chicken in egg/milk mixture, then flour it, shake, then dip in wet mixture again, then back in flour mixture & squeeze the flour onto the chicken really good & fry. It is the crispiest chicken & the drippings will make delicious gravy.

I’m not seeing anyone mention buttermilk. I personally don’t care for the breading made with egg. I roll my chicken in seasoned flour (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, chili powder) then in a bowl with buttermilk with hot sauce in it and then back in the flour one piece at a time and you’ll have a thick crunchy breading. Make sure your oil is high enough to cover most of the sides of your pieces of chicken so you’re not having to turn it a bunch. And if you put a wooden spoon in your oil and there’s some bubbles around it it’s hot enough

I mix flour egg and cornmeal! Fry when oil is hot enough!! My family loves it!!

Put ice in egg batter before dipping chicken

Marinate in whatever you plan 2, dip in seasoned flour, then in2 egg, then in2 either the flour again or in2 breadcrumbs. The flour makes the egg stick, the egg makes the breadcrumbs stick...

Your oil is not hot enough, make sure your oil is hot before you put in the pan, flour,egg,flour(or crumbs)and do not crowd the pan

 

[stephendiscipleofyhwh]

Make sure the chicken is dry. I dip in egg and then flour woth seasoning in it and it sticks well

 

[elapinski]

Your oil is not hot enough.

That used to happen to me, but my grandma said that the trick to getting the bread crumbs to stick after dipping in egg and the crumbs, was to let it sit for 10-15 min before frying....and make sure that the oil is hot, not cold/cool.

Flour first then egg then cornflakes ground to a fine crumble it awesome

Sounds like your pan isn’t hot enough. You got to scald that chicken, and not overcrowd your pan. Plus try buttermilk instead of egg base.
