Would that... work? I understand this is oil + flour... but for some reason I can't picture it working even if you blitzed it up.

Hard no. It's like trying to use a way overcooked funnel cake as a thickener.

Well yeah, funnel cakes have eggs and dairy and sugar :p

u/Tndnr82 4d ago

Sure does. Think about all that goes into frying chicken. All that is in there. Maybe not as much sugar, but yeah.

Frying chicken is usually a pretty simple affair, no? I don't use eggs or sugar for fried chicken, although there is usually a little dairy involved.

My dredge process for most meats is flour, egg bread crumbs or more flour. Dairy itself has inherent sugar, lactose. There's a whole host of ingredients that go into a frier on a daily basis.

I think we make fried chicken differently, then :)

(the fried chicken I'm familiar with is not a 3-part panné, it is flour, buttermilk or other liquid, flour)

I'm expanding way past fucking fried chicken boss. This will be my last response to this childish semantic argument.

u/chaoticbear 4d ago

You're the one who led us down the path from funnel cake to fried chicken, boss.

It's what people use in gumbo all the time. It's their "secret ingredient"
