Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs (optional for extra crunch)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder to ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the flour mixture.
If using bread crumbs for a crunchier texture, stir them in at this stage.
Whisk all the dry ingredients thoroughly to combine and create a uniform mix.
To use the coating mix, dip chicken pieces into a wet batter (such as buttermilk or egg wash), then dredge them thoroughly in the mix, ensuring an even coating.
For a thicker crust, repeat the dipping and coating process for a double layer of breading.
This coating mix can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in a cool, dry place.
