Chicken breading mix is a preparation specifically designed to coat pieces of chicken before frying or baking, providing a crunchy texture and delicious flavor. It generally contains a combination of flours (such as wheat or corn flour), spices, and sometimes yeasts or leavening agents that help create a golden and crispy outer layer.
This ingredient originates from various culinary traditions where breaded chicken is popular, such as American cuisine with the classic "fried chicken," as well as in many Latin American and Spanish recipes. The mix simplifies the breading process, ensuring an even coating and preventing the chicken from absorbing too much oil when frying.
Properties: In addition to enhancing the chicken's flavor, the breading mix adds texture and helps seal in the meat's juices during cooking, resulting in a juicier interior and a crispy exterior. Depending on its ingredients, it can provide a spicy or slightly sweet touch.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: it can be called pre-mezcla para empanizar, mezcla para rebozar, harina para empanizar, or simply empanizador. In some countries, it is also known as pan rallado sazonado, although the latter is a bit more specific.
