PREPARING
THE FOOD
Soak the uncooked chicken portions in milk or water and then roll in Southern
Fry breading mix. Allow the breaded portions to stand for a minimum of half an
hour to ensure maximum adhesion of the mix to the meat and obtain full flavour
retention. Do not take meat directly from the freezer, allow meat to reach near
room temperature before coating with breading. Before frying roll again in the
breading mix and shake of the excess coating.
There is a great variation in breading mixes. In our experience those availed
from the shelves of the local Cash and Carry can be very bland. Check new
deliveries as they can vary from batch to batch. It is important to choose a good
breading mix and store it well because it can make a big difference to the taste
and your repeat sales.
