Hand-breading is one of those things that sounds simple but makes all the difference. At Spring Chicken, every piece of chicken is breaded to order, by hand, in our kitchens — not shipped in frozen and pre-coated like much of the fast-casual industry.
The Process
Hand-breading allows for an even, textured coating that holds up through frying without going soggy or falling apart. It also means our team can control exactly how much seasoning goes into every batch, keeping flavor consistent from the first order of the day to the last.
Because it’s made fresh rather than frozen, hand-breaded chicken also cooks differently — resulting in a crispier exterior and a juicier center, the combination our guests tell us keeps them coming back.
Why It’s Worth the Extra Step
Hand-breading takes more time and more skilled labor than using a pre-breaded, frozen product. It’s a harder way to run a fast-casual kitchen — but it’s the difference between food that tastes made and food that tastes made-to-order.
