Notes
- Season the bread crumbs: Adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or your favorite spices to the mixture ensures the breading is flavorful from the inside out.
- Double dip for extra crunch: For an even thicker, crunchier coating, dredge your meat in the egg wash and breading twice. You can also add buttermilk to the mixture.
- Let it rest: After breading, let the coated meat rest for a few minutes before cooking to help the breading set and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
- Fry in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying to ensure the breading stays crispy and evenly cooked.
