All About That Dredging
Dredging is a straightforward cooking approach the place you coat your moist meat in a dry ingredient like flour earlier than cooking. On this case, we go from moist meat to dry flour, then again to moist with eggs, and eventually coating in bread crumbs which makes this a double dredging.
This course of works finest in case you arrange a dredging station the place all of the objects to coat are lined up and able to go. I like to make use of pie plates or cake pans as a result of they’re good and broad, making it tremendous straightforward to coat the hen. You’ll want three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for the egg combination, and one for the breadcrumb combination.
Dredging Suggestions
Preserve One Hand Dry: Use one hand for dry elements (flour and breadcrumbs) and the opposite for moist elements (egg combination). This retains issues much less messy.
Coat Evenly: Make sure that each bit of hen is evenly coated at every stage. Shake off any extra flour and let extra egg drip off earlier than transferring to the breadcrumbs.
Press the Breadcrumbs: Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the hen to make sure they stick nicely and create a pleasant, even coating.
