flour coating

Pre-fry dust bath

A flour coating is a thin layer of flour applied to food before cooking, typically before frying or sautéing.

The coating helps create a crisp exterior and provides a base for additional breading: Give the chicken a light flour coating before dipping it in egg wash.

Fish, meat, and vegetables are commonly prepared this way.
