Fried chicken has risen to become an immensely beloved, popular, and widely consumed food worldwide. It’s secret? Simply in its cooking method, as frying happens to be an excellent technique for preparing this dish! The coating formed around the chicken pieces as a crust is what gives fried chicken its glorious appeal. Coatings add a crisp to the exterior of the chicken while retaining its juices in the meat upon frying – much like a mini pressure cooker, turning the meat inside into tender goodness.
Whatever the function, one thing is for sure – to achieve the desired texture and taste of fried chicken lies in the coating. Hence, when choosing a fried chicken coating supplier, look for:
- High-quality ingredients
- Customisable coating system for various preferences like:
-
Coating thickness
-
Crispiness level
-
Seasoning options
-
Texture variations
-
Marination flavours

From Plain to Extraordinary: Enhance Your Chicken With Flavourful Coatings

Today, many food outlets, restaurants, and food manufacturers have explored different kinds of coating systems for frying chicken as a way to impart new and innovative crust textures, flavour delivery, and eating experiences to consumers.
The coating possibilities for fried chicken are many, ranging from traditional flour-based or batter coatings having specialised seasonings with enhanced flavour, to Japanese Karaage offering bite-sized marinated boneless chicken dusted with flour for deep frying.
At Markaids, we have developed a customisable batter coating system called BetterCoat™ to create varieties of fried chicken products. A BetterCoat™ can consist of a combination of components; they include by order of marinades, washes, pre-dusting flour, batter, and breader – all depending on the type of finished chicken product needed to produce.
You can even look to give your chicken meat juicier bites with satisfying flavours by simply altering the marinades – our TenderMax™ marinade can do just that, imparting tender juiciness with kicks of herbs and spices that will not disappoint even the most critical flavour enthusiast. Similarly, different crispiness levels can be achieved as easily as mixing up a specific ratio of water into the batter mix.
Furthermore, our BetterCoat™ offers versatility beyond preparing chicken for frying, as it can be effectively used for baking or air-frying as well.
This system also considers the differences in coating requirements between fried chicken produced on an industrial scale versus in a central kitchen. For industrial use of BetterCoat™, the system shall be customised to comprise three primary steps and batter coating ingredients (pre-dust, battermix, and breader), whereas central kitchens can use a single BetterCoat™ batter ingredient for making two types of fried chicken; such as regular fried chicken through a battering step and Korean fried chicken through the 2-way Korean cooking method with different wet and dry steps.
Savour the Flavour: Enhance Your Chicken Recipes With the Finest Breading and Coating Mix
The coating and breading steps in fried chicken each have distinct roles: applying batter as a coating helps to retain moisture, resulting in a succulent finished product. On the other hand, the breading step contributes to good adhesion of the batter to the chicken, ensuring a crust that remains for crisp sensory appeal.
The thickness of the crust can be determined by the battering process, while the crispiness can be influenced by the size of the ingredients used in the breading like breadcrumbs, flour, or cornflakes.
Coatings are also an effective way to allow for diverse culinary combinations. They can be a delicious carrier of aromatic elements like seasonings and spices, providing a base for experimentation on trending flavours in the market.
