Kitchen Tricks and Tips From Our Expert Cooks
Breading Without the Mess
Coating ingredients in flour, egg, and bread crumbs is the surest path to an extra-crispy crust, but it can turn your hands
into a sticky, clumpy disaster. Follow this neat technique to solve that problem.
Step 1: Arrange your ingredients from your left to your right in this order: the food you want to bread (such as chicken fillets),
flour, egg, and bread crumbs. Using your left (“dry”) hand, turn the chicken in the flour to coat both sides, then drop it
into the bowl of egg.
Step 2 (shown here): Using your right (“wet”) hand, lift the chicken from the egg, shake off the excess, then drop it into the bread crumbs.
Step 3: Using your left (“dry”) hand, turn the chicken in the bread crumbs to coat both sides. Tap off the excess bread crumbs, then
transfer to a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
