  • so, i’ve been doing breadcrumb chicken a few times, but i keep finding the breadcrumb falls off. i know it involves flour, egg and breadcrumb (which i like with thyme) but how to do this so it stays on? atm im like flour then egg then breadcrumb…

    If you’re dipping flower first go egg>flower>egg>breadcrumbs. but it could be the flower that’s f’in it up … just try egg then bread crumbs if the first one doesn’t work. Also try mixing the egg with a little milk and wisk.

    You know you have to “pat” the bread crumbs on right? You shouldn’t be just dipping the chicken in … you should be putting the chicken in the bowl of bread crumbs, totally covering the thing and squishing the crumbs on so they stay there. If you do this method even the flower/egg/bread crumb order should work.

    without the flower it just becomes an egg slide… im sure the flour is required but lol, it doesn’t work so well for me

    Flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Using smallish tupperware/sandwich boxes helps – put the flour in one, egg in the other, breadcrumbs in the third, and go dipping from one to the other (each side so it gets properly coated). Made schnitzel the other day out of pork loins that I pounded flat… nummy stuff!

    Yeh that’s how I do it too. Make sure you use plenty of oil too if you’re not already. It should come to about half way up the meat.

    i was doing it like that, maybe im just not using enough flour or something… i love schnitzel!!! is very popular in israel (spent a lot of time there), but of course not with pork (chicken :p).

    You’re meant to shallow fry it, i.e. place the breaded meat in the hot oil, leave for a few minutes then flip it to cook the other side. Pretty unhealthy but that’s how it’s meant to be – not something you’d want to eat every day!

    If you try to pan fry it (i.e with only a bit of oil) probably all of the breadcrumbs will dry up and fall off or burn before the meat cooks through.

    Blaaad….don’t he wasting time and effort on preparation. Call oasis take away and order there XL gojons and chips meal for £4.50, you can even get a can Rubicon innit.

    mans lives in the sticks yeeeh. a bredbins gotta make his own food yeeeh innit bruv

    Bugger.

    its ok, im not so into take away food… unless im drunk in which case its the only way… grade f meat ftw!

    It is an art to make a coating sticky enough to get the bread crumbs to stay on, but not TOO sticky so you can’t handle it.

    Here’s a tip; Gram is I think Hindi for the flour made by grinding up chickpeas. It goes INCREDIBLY sticky when a bit of water is applied. Use too much though and you will be spending a lot of time scraping it off your fingers.

    If you find regular flour not producing such great results, try Gram or Corn flour. Different adhesive levels to plain or self raising flour.

    Well I think we’ve all learned something today…

    PV chicken-off anyone?
