Im frying chicken fingers and want really crispy crust????

Question

should I use flour or bread crumbs? or both?

Answer 1

i do the dreaded messy double dip-seasoned flour egg beaten with a little hotsauce back in the seasoned flour back in the egg bath then a roll in panko bread crumbs good clean hot (360-375) oil fry only a few at a time so your oil doesn't lose temp and only bread what you can drop at one time if you bread all the chicken and some sits while the rest cooks you will get a gummy crust good eats!

Answer 3

Use buttermilk and self rising flour. That will give you the crispiest crust. Or you can dip it in egg, then seasoned flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Different texture, still crispy.
Let me clarify just in case, use one egg mixed with one Tablespoon of water, where I said egg, then mix the egg and water with a fork, then dip the chicken in it etc.
For the buttermilk, soak the chicken in the buttermilk for half and hour if you can, then dip it in a mixture of salt, pepper and flour.

Answer 4

Flour, and dip in egg and milk mixture first.. brown on Med high heat... be sure your shortening is hot before you put the chicken in the pan, and they should be crisp! Oh and use shortening if you have it, it doesn't soak in like oil does... no soggy chicken...

Answer 5

Put some corn meal in the bread crumbs mixture and it will be crunchy.
