Frying Chicken - breading ?

[twingirlsandaboy]

I LOVE fried chicken and of course now we can't have white flour so what are you frying chicken in these days? I normally would dip in eggs roll in flour then fry .. what do you use now?

thanks.

Hi Cheryl, I would suggest substituting grated parmesan for the flour. Yummy!

I just use the stuff in the canister that's already grated.

I use the pre-grated paremasan too cause it's cheaper. It does the job for fried chicken. I've made fried chicken fingers and buffaloe wings as well. I don't make it often because frying food is a huge production for me.

Crushed pork rinds make a wonderful, crispy coating. I usually crush mine very fine in the food processor. I usually mix in some parmesan and some chicken seasonings like paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. You still do the egg wash and roll in the crumb mixture. It sticks better if you put the coated chicken pieces on paper towel and let dry for 20 to 30 minutes before frying.

George Stella has a recipe using seasoned soy flour. The seasoning overcomes the soy flour taste, so it's really good.

However, I use seasoned Parmesan cheese for frying fish and chicken. It's crispy and chewy at the same time. Works for baking or frying.
