Finishing Steps
-
Step 0
When done cooking, remove and pat dry. Using the standard breading procedure of flour, egg wash and breading prepare the chicken for its final cook.
-
Step 1
Dust the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess flower. This helps to remove any additional moisture.
-
Step 2
Dip the chicken into the beaten egg wash. This helps to ensure the breading will stick to the chicken.
-
Step 3
Dredge the chicken in the bread crumbs. This will add the final color and crisp coating.
-
Step 4
In a cast iron pan (or any other large tall-sided pan), add enough oil to fill 1 inch and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough, add chicken and cook until it is an even brown on all sides. Rotate as necessary and to ensure it does not burn. Remember the chicken is already cooked fully, we are just looking to get the right color.
