yeah my breading tasted like newspaper and my chicken was dry,,,,,, I had chicken strips,, so im sure they didn't have enough fat to make them juicy.......
This worked when I used it,,,,,,, just gotta master the flour breading
I can see how that would work. But personally I wouldnt use bread crumbs. But then again ive fried lots of chicken in a quest to be able to make the best chicken and ive found breadcrumbs makes good white people fried chicken, but it aint like the colonel (kfc) or anybody elses. As far as breading people have used cornflakes, lays chips, cheese its, flamin hot cheetos.
For my fried chicken I generally just hit it with buttermilk then put it in my seasoned flour. If im frying chicken for general tso (which im thinking about making tonight) I directly season just the chicken then i put it in a mixture of seasoned flour.
As far as seasoning goes, you can season however you want, just use flour. I add salt, pepper, and whatever else I want to it. Cayenne pepper, garlic, onion, paprika...theres no right or wrong way to do it its whatever flavors you like. Ive done flour with lemon pepper and had lemon pepper air fried chicken.
My best advice is to go homemade. I wouldnt buy premade seasoned flour, or pre made chicken breading mix (shake and bake and shyt). There stuff is either too coarse or too fine. Ive tried them. Just use flour, and your seasonings from your shelf. Theres no right or wrong way to do it, just dont over do it, I put a half tbsp of cayenne in my mix and it was
. If I want something simple I'll just do salt,pepper. But KFC uses like 11 herbs and spices and shyt so you have plenty of room to explore and get what you want in your chicken.
at all the fat that had drained off. I'm pretty sure my arteries are already happy with my decision.
our kitchens dont get this warm"
shyt was so easy too. Great fukking product!
