Crispy outer layers
Breadings is the plural of breading—the coating of breadcrumbs, flour, or similar dry ingredients applied to food before frying or baking.
Different breadings produce different textures: The restaurant offers three breadings for its chicken tenders—panko, seasoned flour, and cornmeal.
