What does 'breaded' mean?
I want to share that 'breaded' is a term often used, not only in high-end national and international cuisine but also by homemakers. Breading refers to a coating applied to food before cooking.
Basic breading involves dredging the food in flour, then dipping in beaten egg, and finally covering with breadcrumbs or bread pieces. It's then usually deep-fried.
This technique can be applied to meats, fish, vegetables, and in this case, chicken.
How to make breaded chicken?
First, wash and thoroughly clean the chicken. In one bowl, combine wheat flour with seasonings, salt, and pepper; in another, the beaten egg with milk, and in another, the bread crumbs.
Once you have these three bowls ready and the chicken cleaned and organized to your liking, coat each chicken piece first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and lastly in the breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered.
Heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces to fry. Stir and ensure they don't burn. Remember, the oil shouldn't be too hot, or the pieces might burn or brown too quickly. When golden, remove from the oil, drain, and serve.
Is there a special side dish for this breaded chicken?
Absolutely! This delicious dish can be paired with steamed potatoes seasoned with a pinch of salt, or a green salad to balance our meal and not feel guilty for indulging.
Tips and Recommendations
- Add milk or a bit of water to the beaten egg to dilute the egg flavor, so it's not noticeable after frying.
- Be very careful with the oil's temperature. If too hot, the chicken will brown quickly and might remain raw inside.
- Always coat the chicken in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs for a richer and crispier result.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to add seasonings to the flour? It's not necessary. We do it to enhance the chicken's flavor, but you can skip it for a natural taste.
- Should the chicken be raw or cooked? Raw chicken is typically used for this procedure.
- Can I bread the chicken and freeze it uncooked? Absolutely. Many restaurants practice this, storing it in the freezer for days, so it's just a matter of frying when needed.
