Chicken Breading Essentials

CHICKEN:

This recipe is good for both the chicken breast or boneless thighs. Go for skinless ones that are of similar size to enhance even cooking.

BREADING:

Panko bread crumbs produce an ultimate crispy surface. They are obtainable on the Internet, at the breadcrumbs sections, or at the Asian foods aisle as Japanese style bread crumbs.

A seasoned breadcrumb is an outstanding product in terms of the level of its flavor and the gentle consistency it provides as a coating.

To make the chicken’s bread, you have to first Dredge it in flour (coat and shake off excess), then in egg which would support the breadcrumbs in adhering.

Steps to Bake Breaded Chicken

Preparation of Egg/Flour Mix: Whip eggs in a bowl and blend flour with various spices in the other.

Mix Breadcrumbs: The panko and seasoned breadcrumbs should be mixed thoroughly.

Bread the Chicken: Coat the chicken with flour, dip it in the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumbs.

Bake: For baking the chicken breasts, follow the recipe instructions.

Pro Tip: You can add some grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture to enhance the taste.

Breaded Chicken Tips

Wipes the chicken dry to make sure the coating is going to be well.

The breadcrumbs should be pressed hard on the chicken so that the chicken gets evenly coated.

Generous use of cooking spray or olive oil spray leads to the browning of the food.

Chicken drying out is avoided by not overbaking, as it will still be cooked after it is taken out from the oven.

You should leave the chicken to stand for about 5 minutes before you cut it.

Serving Suggestions

• The breaded chicken is also a good addition to the salad and makes it more interesting than the regular one.
