What kind of coating do you like to put on things for frying?

The breading I use depends on what I am frying, sauteeing, or even oven baking. The simplest is seasoned flour. Sometimes I use flour mixed with cornmeal, again seasoned. I may add some wheatgerm in a chicken recipe I use. Flour, egg, and bread crumb is a standard in breading recipes. I have used whole wheat flour in breading, but have not yet tried whole grain matzo meal; it sounds great. I do also season all of my breadings, from simple salt and pepper to the herbs you mentioned and also some parmesan cheese. Sometimes I double breadings, as in coating twice, for a secure coat! Panko crumbs are touted as the best for breading by most foodies and Food Network chefs.

Hiya writersedge, For frying I usually use breadcrumbs and beaten egg and a little salt for the meat or fish as I buy them fresh usually. Sometimes I put in a little red pepper in powder form and coat the meat in it and then coat it with egg and then breadcrumbs you have to fry it slowy though as it tends to burn quicker at least it does on my Gas Cooker. Sounds really nice that Chicken yummy.

the roomie heard about putting those french fried onions (like on green bean casserole) on chicken, sounds good to me

Hi, writersedge. I just usually will coat my chicken with regular Pillsbury white flour. I have always wanted to try the Shake n Bake though. I am sure that your fried chicken came out looking and tasting good.

We put a mixture of herbs on our meats that we get at our co-op. It is called Spike and it has all the basic favorites in it and are the superior form of each. It is great on porkchops, chicken or fish. Even on hamburgers. It is great! I just use whatever herbs I like and add garlic and pepper to most.

I use self rising flour,egg, and milk for my chicken. My b/f has an amazing recipe where he uses bread crumbs and the flour and milk.

For oven frying chicken, I use a mixture of flour, cornmeal, salt and sometimes sage, then I put a pat of butter on the top of each piece. It tastes like skillet fried chicken that way.

I have used a recipe from Bisquick in the past to oven fry chicken. I also remember a recipe that involved crushed corn flakes on the chicken, that would make a pretty color I am sure. Probably thirty years ago I had a recipe that called for instant potato flakes on the chicken, and I liked that really well. It would not have salt in it unless you added it.

I like to experiment with different things each time but, it does make it hard to remember what your receipe is. One thing most people dont think of using is french fried onions (The little crunchy things from green bean casserole) its really good but then again...... I love those things on lots of stuff burgers, salads, and sandwiches

I usually don't put any coatings on things beyond seasoning before I fry it, just some cooking oil or spray. Though my Mom used to take roundsteak cut it up & dip it into a flour & seasoning mix & fry it. Now that I think about it that would be tasty...

When I fry Chicken I just use flour, salt , pepper, garlic salt, and whatever extra seasonings I have around. I trie it with the eggs before and it never worked for me.

Any flour goes well combined with egg. I normally use rice flour for fish, corn flour for meat.

My mother would use egg, she will soak first the chicken in egg before coating it with rice flour. Infact we had fried chicken for dinner tonight. My mom's recipe taste like KFC, its tasty and crispy.

Hi writersedge i dip my chicken in a paste made up of eggs and cornflour.The chicken comes out to be very crispy after frying.The other way of dipping chicken is dip it in beaten egg and then in a crushed to powder non sugary biscuits.My favorite chicken recipe is marinate chicken with ginger garlic paste, green chilli paste ,salt and tomato ketchup .Dip the chicken in beaten eggs and cornflour.Deep fry in oil till it becomes golden brown.serve with green salad and lemon and sauce.

hi! it depends on that what I am frying! If i fry some pork, I usually put some lemon juice and the rind of it, some onion, in some cases garlic, ginger is a very proper spice for pork, salt of course and some pepper! When i fry chicken meat i also put onion and and some lemon juice, but now rind, and also mushrooms and some pepper and red pepper! that's the way i mostly cook meat meals!
