The invention relates to a packaged frozen food product comprising a sealed package made of material that is impermeable to water vapour, said sealed package holding: 40-1,000 grams of one or more frozen breaded food products comprising 30-90 wt. % of a filling having a water content of at least 30 wt. % and an outer crumb coating, said one or more frozen breaded food products having a total water content of 25-75 wt. %; and silica gel desiccant in an amount of 1-20% by weight of the one or more frozen breaded food products;
wherein the packaged frozen fried food product is obtained by a process comprising: a. providing a water-containing filling composition; b. providing a plastically deformable farinaceous dough; c. enveloping a portion of the filling composition with a layer of the farinaceous dough to produce an enveloped filling; d. pre-coating the surface of the enveloped filling with an adhesion composition to produce a pre-coated product; and e. applying a crumb onto the surface of the pre-coated product to produce a breaded product; f. frying the breaded food product to produce a fried breaded food product; g. introducing the fried breaded food product into a freezer to produce a frozen breaded food product; h. introducing one or more of the frozen breaded food products and silica gel desiccant into a package; and i. sealing the package;
wherein the atmosphere within the sealed package is in direct contact with the one or more frozen breaded food products and the silica gel desiccant.

The frozen breaded food product of the present invention can be reheated in a microwave or oven to produce a ready-to-eat product with a crispy outer coating even after it has been subjected to frozen storage for a prolonged period of time.
