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

[nightingale93]

Double dipped. Dip in Water, shake in flour, dip in egg/milk mixture, shake in flour, instant potato flakes, spice mixture make sure oil is hot by taking a drop of water and make it pop. Then it's ready. Sounds like oil is too cold.

Your chicken has to be DRY before any breading is added. Blot with paper towels.

 

[remi832]

Make sure your oil is at 350

Make sure you dry the chicken with a paper towel before coating.

Let it sit in buttermilk a few minutes before breading and double coat it make sure oil is super hot

Make sure your oil is hot, that you pat the chicken dry before egging and breading. Pat dry, flour, egg dip, than flour again. Place in hot oil.

Double dip on flour and egg. Make sure grease is HOT

My mom always uses a cast iron skillet and pats dry with a paper towel after cooking. Nothing fancy for the recipe, just some flour, and black pepper.

Google Martha Stewart's fried chicken.... delicious and crunchy every time

Seasoned Flour, egg wash, whatever breading you want to use, egg wash, breading again…then LET SIT…that’s super important because they breading and flour have a chance to become sticky and adhere to the chicken.
Also, just out the fridge chicken works the best.

I dip in egg then flour..it works

 

[super_sonic]

dip in flour egg whites then corn flakes or do the flour again

 

[saan]

Use an egg wash beat an egg or two then dip chicken in and then into bread crumbs

I’ve been told wet doesn’t stick to wet and dry doesn’t stick to dry. So begin with your chicken in wet mixture, then into dry mixture. Right into frying pan/oil. Don’t try to turn if the chicken if it is still sticking to the pan, wait until it is loose on its own

Our Mom made the best!!! All she did was soak her chicken in salt water then roll in flour and drop it in hot grease!!!

I dip the chicken in a bowl of evaporated milk and 2 whipped raw eggs.Then in another container I have all purpose flour that has salt and pepper.Shake the chicken up and then fry the chicken in a pan of canola oil.

Egg wash then flour ,repeat if need to .

 

[revmike10]

Coat, dredge then coat again. Then fry. Works for fish too.
