How do you prevent the coating from sliding off of fried chicken?
GreenGrasshopper asked:
When I fry chicken (livers, usually) the breading slides off. How can I bread the livers so the coating doesn’t do this? I drege in seasoned flour, then in egg or milk, then in bread crumbs. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Try skipping the flour or bread crumbs its hard to get bread crumbs to stick to flour.

dip in flour then in egg wash and again in flour
Wait 10 minutes for the flour to get tacky and then dredge in crumbs or batter dip before crumbing

I dry the raw chicken fairly well then dip in egg then in my seasoned flour then fry. I make sure the oil is hot by dropping a little of the flour into it. when it sizzles I know my chicken is ready to go in. I add chicken and I do not move it around in the oil that tends to take my breading off. then I flip it and fry until done

Make sure your grease is hot enough; if it isn’t, the coating will fall off–I learned this from experience. I don’t use bread crumbs. I just dip my chicken in a buttermilk and egg mixture, then coat with flour and seasonings. But to each their own.

If you use bread crumbs they will fall off. Try dipping in seasoned flour, egg and milk mixture them flour again. Make sure that your oil is hot enough when you drop meat into it or the breading will fall off. And don’t over load your pan give plenty of room to have oil all around food and for the temp of the oil to stay hot .

I usually eat it. Then it does not slide anywhere!
