A coating composition for foods contains high level of rice (e.g., as flour) and dextrin, and little or no cornstarch, with the rice and dextrin componen ts on a percentage weight basis together comprising from about 25 % to 70 % of the total weight of the solids content of the coating composition, and ratio s of rice to dextrin between about 1.0:1 to 5:1. The high amounts of both rice and dextrin substantially increase the coated product's crispness and holdin g time after either complete initial cooking or secondary reconstitution in conventional or microwave oven after limited initial cooking (e.g., parfryin g) and freezing, while maintaining excellent appearance, taste, tenderness, and tooth compaction characteristics, and also are highly cost-advantageous. The composition also may contain potato starch and seasonings, coloring agents, leavening agents, and stabilizing agents, and may be applied as a dry mix of ingredients or in slurry form. |
