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

[iustusetpeccator]

Grease has to be hot

I usually coat the chicken in flour mixed with either red pepper flakes then into egg mixture and one more time into the flour mixture. Then fry in vegetable oi inl skillet.

If the breading is coming off the grease is not hot enough no matter the method you use when breading

We use seasoned flour. That’s it. It gives the nice crisp fry spots while keeping the chicken moist. My family usually picks off all the breading of other chicken.

Oil not hot enough

 

[acloren]

Bread it in advance and refrigerate for a few hours before cooking, it helps the crumb stick better.

It sounds like your grease isnt hot enough. Soak in butter milk and double batter, but your grease has to be about 375 before you put the chicken in. If the grease isnt hot enough it will all soak up and wont fry to the chicken

Ranch dressing or mayo marinade... roll in flour ..for crispier crust.roll in flour then Dip in egg n milk and do a second coat of flour. Season the flour with your fav seasonings. Like others said, test the grease to be hot ...drop in a crumble of coating and see if it begins to fry then its hot enough for chicken. Make gravy from the grease drippings and some of the crumbs.

At the restaurant, we would pre-bread our chicken. Then cover it and put it in our walk in cooler. So it would be pretty well stuck on the chicken by the time it was put into the fryer. Also, try kettle frying the chicken instead of pan frying it. The chicken will cook in the hot oil without touching the sides or bottom. Put one piece in at a time so that they don't stick together. Oil temperature must be 375 degrees.

Put in egg and milk. Then bread crumbs and seasoning. Then let it sit for half an hour or so. It sets then drop into hot hot oil

 

[believe2c]

Soak in egg then flour then egg again then flour. 2xs each one. Then let sit on a tray for 5 minutes so it can set.
