Ranch dressing serves as a flavorful wet dredge for chicken, acting as an alternative to egg wash. With ingredients such as buttermilk, garlic, onion powder, and herbs, ranch adds a tangy and complex flavor to the breading. To use, create a dredging station with ranch dressing and breadcrumbs to coat the chicken. Additionally, ranch powder can enhance the dry dredge, providing an extra zing, while also helping to keep the chicken moist during cooking. This method offers an economical and flavorful way to bread chicken.
Dredging stations can be dry-wet-dry or simply wet-dry, but an egg wash is the common wet dredge that binds the crunchy outer breading of chicken.
Ranch dressing is a premade, multi-ingredient wet dredge that will bind breadcrumbs, keep chicken moist in the oven, frying pan, or air fryer.
You can try adding ranch powder mix to the dry dredge to take your breading to the next level.
The swap for eggs is simple. All you need to do is create a dredging station with a shallow bowl of ranch dressing and a bowl of breadcrumbs.
