It’s so easy getting crunchy deep fried foods with Crunchy Crumbs

When we are cooking a new recipe, we hope everything goes well, but sometimes our dish is not as we expected. This is so frustrating and we could think that the recipe was wrong or maybe we didn’t use the right ingredients. But the most common reason is that we don’t realize our own mistakes.

We couldn’t improve if we don’t know how, so to fix it and get perfect and crunchy breading, we want to explain you the most common frying mistakes and how to fix them.

Frying at the wrong temperature

To get a crunchy breading we need the right temperature. If the oil temperature is low, our breading will be mushy and greasy. But if the oil temperature is too high, the breading ends up raw on the inside and burnt on the inside. So the perfect temperature for frying is between 325 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit (180º Celsius). If we don’t have a thermometer, we can make a little test. We have to add a small piece of food into the oil, if it sizzles immediately, the oil temperature is right.

Changing the heat

In the rush, we usually cook on high heat, but when we have to add the food, we decide turn down the heat because we are afraid of hot oil can burn us. We must never do this, it is too dangerous and our food will be terrible.

Mixing different foods inside the oil

If we want to prepare a mix of deep fried foods, for example as a deep fried vegetables, we can add all the vegetables inside the same oil. But we can’t mix different foods, for example, as fried calamari and fried eggplant, because we will change the taste of both foods. Also, this is very important for people with celiac disease, because if we fry something with gluten, we will contaminate the oil and the next gluten-free food.

Amount of oil

If we use a small amount of oil, when we add the food, the oil temperature will drop. But we will the same result if we use a big amount, because it will take a lot of time to reach the right temperature. To get crunchy deep fried foods, virtue is the happy medium.

Amount of deep fried food

Although we want to finish as soon as possible to eating our deep fried foods, we must be patient. We can’t add all the pieces of food at the same time, because they need enough space between them. So we have to fry in small batches. Also, always we have to add small pieces of food, if it needed we must cut food in small sizes, for example, we can make vegetables sticks or chicken nuggets.

We hope that some of these tips will be useful to you. your deep fried foods will be tasty and super crispy with a professional result.

We can make different dishes with different breaded chicken pieces but certainly, chicken nuggets are favorite of many people.
These little titbits are tender inside and crunchy outside, so no one can’t resist.

These little pieces of breading chicken are delicious but we usually eat and buy them at fast food restaurants and supermarkets.
And this is a big mistake. At first sight, we think nuggets are made of tender breast chicken, but nothing could be more untrue.
At most famous fast food restaurants, nuggets are made as hot dogs; that means a mixture of meat with skin, blood vessels, gristle… In other words, processed foods with a big quantity of fat.

Nuggets from supermarket are not better. If we read the nutrition facts label and ingredients, we will see that they only contains 30% of breast chicken and a high amount of additives and salt.
But that is not all, nuggets always have a lower protein percent than their fat percent.

So, if we want to eat real nuggets of breast chicken and obviously without unhealthy additives, the best idea is make our own breading for chicken.
We promise that these homemade chicken nuggets are more crunchy and tastes much better than nuggets from fast food restaurants and supermarkets.
Don’t you worry about difficulty or time, we ensure that this is an easy and quick recipe, and you could enjoy of the best breading for chicken you have ever tasted.

First, we have to cut the chicken breast into small pieces. After we sprinkle it with the salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.
Then we coat each nugget with Crunchy Crumbs. We have to heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat (around 180º is perfect). So we can fry our nuggets.
If all the nuggets don’t fit in the skillet, it is better to fry many batches. We will cook them until they are golden brown on each side. We will use a spatula to place the nuggets on paper towels to drain.
Et voilà! We will have perfect breaded nuggets.

*We can add other spices or seasonings before breading as curry or paprika if we want different flavors.
