Why does my batter come off when frying?

Dry flour doesn't stick to itself very well, so if a too-thick initial dredging creates clump-like layers of flour that aren't well moistened, in the relative violence of the fryer the dry interior of those clump-like layers will separate from each other and your breading will flake off.

How do you keep breading from falling off chicken?

Chill. Place the breaded chicken on a cooling rack (or a platter) and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the layers of breading ingredients solidify, and adhere better when the chicken is cooked.

Why does breading fall off fried fish?

Don't pull it too tight, but make sure that all of the edges are sealed. Place the plate into the refrigerator and let the food sit for at least 60 minutes. This helps the coating to harden a bit, which will keep it on the food.

Why do you Dip chicken in flour before egg?

The standard breading procedure, and it's simple to do! The initial dip in flour helps the egg wash stick better to the food's surface. A little bit of oil in the egg wash helps thin the liquid coating, and the extra fat browns the breadcrumbs better underneath.
