Page name change request

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

What I think should be changed the title of the page should be changed from fried chicken to southern fried chicken
Why it should be changed: the origin page is USA and fried chicken originally came from Scotland. Another editor will not allow added origins as they insist the page is just to do with southern fried chicken.

Battering vs breading

The first paragraph of this article confuses battering with breading. It rightly describes fried chicken as usually being battered in a coating of egg milk and flour. But then later it refers to that coating as a breading. Breading is a different three step process. First, the chicken is coated in flour. Then it’s dipped in an eggwash. All of this is seasoned. Then the egg washed chicken is dipped (dredged?) into a breading of things like Panko or cornmeal or anything else that would crackle out when in a deep fat fryer but still cling to the chicken in the oil. If battering is described then any breading reference should be changed to battering. Documikey (talk) 01:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
