I got home from a quick business trip on Wednesday and found that a package from Arnie was there waiting on me.
I had a whole chicken in the frig that I was going to smoke that day but then I decided to try the Mies breading.
Next, Placed the Mies into a Ziplock bag then I cut the chicken into parts and gave a quick wash. Placed the Chicken into the bag and gave it a tumble.
... and wallah! My first Mies experience!

Man this was easy and very good!
I felt like Tommy with the Big Easy Button...
Thanks to Arnie for the Mies...

That will work!
I love the stuff!

Man it really did provide a light, delicate coating.
SS that's some good looking chicken.
Where can I purchase some of this Mies breading?

I'm placing an order tomorrow, if you want some let me know. I'm going to order 5 pounds of this and if you just want to try it out I can give you a little. Either way will work.
Let me know by tomorrow morning.
By the way here is the link where everyone is buying the Mies: https://www.rodakscoffeeandgrills.com/OTHER_COOL_STUFF.html
I think Marvin Rodak just repackages the bulk stuff. It's OK if you just want to try some but the shipping is a bit of a killer.
I got mine from GusRobin who bought the 'Original' as 30 pounds in 6x5Lb bags. I got one 5 Lb bag and I've already used and given away about a pound and a half.
If someone wants to put together a group buy, get it from the manufacturer - http://www.miesproducts.com/breading.htm
The stuff is typically sold into restaurants and so comes in bulk. Only the Original is available in the 5 Lb bags.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it SS. I've done it on wings, chops and fish. Chicken thighs and drums coming up next.
I don't think Rodak's repackages any Mies products, as only a limited amount of the product is available in small quantities. If you would like more info on larger orders, just call Laura at MIES, she is very good at getting back to you with a shipping quote. If some folks in the Wi area would split an order of 5 lb bags I could see some savings. Just tell her yer from the "Bradley Forum", she has been following this a bit.

Thanks Snelly, I just added some oil to my frying pan and cooked on the stove.
This stuff is great, I'm ordering some tomorrow morning.
Southern Smoked -- that looks great
Deb - Next time you're coming into town, give me a call, stop by and I'll give you some.

Thanks Arnie, I ordered some from Rodaks - I have both the original & spicy. I tried it on boneless chick breast & it didn't work, I'm thinking pilot error and that i did something wrong. I may try some chicken thighs this weekend.
I tried it on boneless skinless chicken breasts also. It was terrible had to throw it all away
Dang' it you guys.
Now I have to get some!
Mark that looks PERFECT!
SS your chicken sure does look good. I left work today just before lunch and wavered back and forth between chicken and a BBQ sandwich. Both I love but opted for the BBQ. So now I'm hungry for some chicken that looks that good!
Deb and pullinpork - sorry to hear of your experiences. How did you cook it?
I've done wings and chops on the grill and chops in a lightly oiled pan and everything came out good - crunchy.
I did fish in the oven and didn't care for it much. It never crisped up - kind of a gummy coating. I'll try it again but go for at least 500 degrees.
My favorite is the grill version.
Deb, how did you do the breasts, were they skinless?
they were skinless - I did in the oven at the temp on the package. I don't think I coated them well enough, sprayed them enough and I think the cooking temp may have been too low.
I'll try it again soon
Deb spray them them with some buttered flavored Pam before you bread them. I think the breading needs the fats from the skin to really work the best and the pam should supply that

or roll them in some melted LARD! ;D
thanks Chris, I'll try that
I've actually been to Rodaks in Fort Worth. Marvin does not repackage it. It is in the original packaging. One thing he told me. If you buy larger quantities (5lb bags). Keep it in the freezer. That is how Mies stores their bulk quantities at the factory till they are ready to package it.

The reason for freezing is the breading will last for an extended time period. It will last for one year in the cupboard after that the spices in the breading will naturally start to loose there flavors.
