Can someone explain the different techniques used to bread food and why they are used? The various steps I've seen used are: water, flour, egg, breading; egg, flour, egg, breading; egg, breading, or even roll in seasoned flour.
If making fried chicken I use water and seasoned flour. I rinse, toss in a bag and shake. All I need is a light coating because of the skin. City chicken I'll use egg wash and a breading for something a little thicker. I don't understand the layered approach using both flour and breading.
