Fried chicken, enjoyed worldwide, often leaves behind seasoned flour, which can be reused to prevent food waste. However, safety is paramount: raw chicken can introduce harmful pathogens into the flour. To safely reuse it, cook the flour at 400°F for six minutes to kill any bacteria. This reheated flour can be repurposed not only for frying but also for creating roux in gumbo. Proper understanding of the flour's interaction with other ingredients is vital for food safety.
Once you dredge, you can also batter and bread.
Reusing flour that's been in contact with raw chicken can potentially spread Salmonella, E. coli, or even more bad-news pathogens.
Baking it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about six minutes is the name of the game.
This is a good opportunity to avoid food waste and reusing this flour is entirely possible.
