   TIP: Dredging is simply coating food lightly, often with seasoned flour or crumbs. Here’s how combine the dry ingredients in a shallow dish or paper bag. With tongs, dip the food you want to dredge into the flour mixture in dish, turning to coat all sides. Or, add food, one or two pieces at a time, to bag and shake. To prevent thick coating, always shake off excess.
