Breading is when the chicken has a crispy flour crust on it. You can use a variety of ingredients for the breading, depending on your taste and the taste of those you will be serving. Breading is a very simple process for which you will need the most everyday foods and appliances. The breading itself takes little time, but you need to prepare accordingly.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Buying chicken

1. 1 Purchase whole or cut chicken.
2. 2 Check the label back in the store. Make sure the chicken is not only tested and is of the highest quality.
3. 3 Check the packaging. You need to choose a well-packed chicken (no damage, holes or leaks).
4. 4 Check the expiration date on the packaging.
5. 5 Check the color of the meat. The chicken shouldn't look gray. Buy poultry that looks white or yellowish.
6. 6 You can keep the chicken in the refrigerator for up to two days. Freeze it if you do not plan to use it within this period.
   • Use sealed packaging for freezing.

Method 2 of 3: Safety Precautions to Prevent Bacterial Infection

1. 1 All utensils and utensils that will come into contact with raw chicken must be clean.
2. 2 Rinse the chicken with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. 3 Wash all cutting boards, knives, and other items thoroughly in soapy water after use to prevent bacterial growth and the possibility of contamination of other food or utensils.

Method 3 of 3: Breaded chicken

1. 1 If not already done, cut the chicken into strips.
2. 2 Break several eggs into a bowl. Usually five is enough, but this greatly depends on the amount of chicken you are cooking.
3. 3 Mix the eggs lightly with a fork. Do not foam them.
4. 4 Add water, oil, or both to the eggs. This will help them maintain a light texture.
5. 5 Take a shallow saucepan or bowl. You can also use a plastic bag. Fill it halfway with flour (if desired, you can use ground crackers).
6. 6 Add your favorite spices to flour or breadcrumbs. For example, salt and pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, or coriander.
7. 7 Dip a slice of chicken into the eggs.
8. 8 Hold a piece of meat over a bowl. Let the excess egg drain off, leaving only a thin layer of the mixture on the strip of chicken.
9. 9 Dip the chicken pieces in flour or breadcrumbs. They must be completely covered. If you are using a plastic bag, place the chicken inside and shake well so that it is completely coated in breadcrumbs.
10. 10 Fry or bake the chicken according to your favorite recipe.
11. 11 Wash all cutting boards, knives, and other items thoroughly in soapy water after use to prevent bacterial growth and the possibility of contamination of other food or utensils.
12. 12 Ready.

Tips

• It is more profitable to buy a whole chicken and butcher it at home, but if you are short on time, then buy a bird that has already been butchered. You can choose a whole chicken and ask the butcher to butcher it. Most grocery stores will provide this service for free.
• Many other foods can be added to the breading, such as various spices, nuts, butter, or even yogurt. You may need to dip the pieces more than once due to the changed structure of the coating.
• Do not use a large amount of flour at once, as it will clump together in a bowl or plastic bag during the rolling process. Use a small amount and add flour as needed.
