Oh yum yum yum Bread Coating

I find so many good recipes on pinterest! I recently made bang bang chicken following Table For Two's recipe. It was so Delicious!!! I highly recommend it! The best part was how wonderful the bread coating on the chicken turned out. I've tried so many different bread coating variations and this one is by far the best I've tried so far. I can't wait to use this for other types of chicken that need a bread coating (or jalapeno poppers).
Recently I was trying to think of ways to use up leftovers in my fridge and freezer. Near the top of the list to use up was a jar of spaghetti sauce, but I'm not really a big spaghetti fan...but what is this? Half a bag of ravioli in our freezer? Mmmm now the wheels are turning on how I can make this just a bit more unhealthy. Yes! Coat it in bread crumbs and fry it! I previously posted about fried ravioli, but all their crumb coating seemed to fall off no matter what coating I used. This new coating stayed on very nice and it was so crispy and delicious! It was even delicious reheated in the microwave even though it was soggy.

Bread Coating:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup panko
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried basil

Egg part
1 egg
1/2 cup milk

If whatever you're dipping is already wet or sticky dip it in the bread coating first, then into the liquid, then back into the bread coating. If whatever you are cooking is not sticky, put it in the egg first then the bread, then the egg, and then the bread again. Then put into the fridge for 20 minutes before frying to help the coating stick. And there you have it. Yum!

For the raviolis I did half panko and half seasoned bread crumbs and then omitted most of the rest of the seasoning for the bread coating mix.
