An object is to provide a dusting flour mix used for deep-fried food, in which the dusting flour mix can suppress generation of lumps without scattering of dusting flour when the dusting flour is coated on a cooking ingredient. The above object is achieved by a dusting flour mix comprising: 14 to 99.9% by mass of a pregelatinized starch and/or a pregelatinized cereal flour; and 0.1 to 86% by mass of an anti-scattering agent, wherein the anti-scattering agent is wheat flour with a content of 0 to 86% by mass and/or an oil and/or fat with a content of 0 to 2.8% by mass relative to the dusting flour mix.

Disclosed is a deep fry coating mix with which it is possible to produce deep-fried food whose coating has a good and crispy texture and maintains the good texture even after a certain period of time has elapsed after production. The deep fry coating mix contains 30 to 70% by mass of starch with a degree of swelling of 10 or less, and 30 to 70% by mass of a water-soluble dietary fiber. It is preferable that the water-soluble dietary fiber is one or more selected from the group consisting of inulin, indigestible dextrin, and β glucan. The deep fry coating mix is particularly useful as a coating powder or for preparing a batter liquid.

A potato starch can be used as a thickening material without premixing with water, and is suitable as a batter material for deep-fried foods. The potato starch may have an angle of difference in a range of from 8 to 35 degrees. A potato starch composition containing the potato starch in an amount of 50% by mass or more may have an angle of difference in a range of from 8 to 35 degrees.

A method of preparing frozen breaded poultry meat in which the poultry meat is compressed into a solid form, frozen, formed into portions, batter-breaded while frozen, and par-fried. The par-fried breaded poultry meat portions may then be cooked for consuming. The method enables the control of portion size independent of the shape, and provides a frozen breaded poultry meat portion that when cooked, has the appearance and the texture of whole muscle meat, independent of trimmings content.

The present invention provides wheat flour flavoring that can be shaken out in a small amount from a shaker-type container and that makes separation of a wheat flour component and a powdered flavoring component from each other difficult in the container. Also, the present invention provides packed wheat flour flavoring comprising a container and wheat flour flavoring packed in the container, wherein the wheat flour flavoring is a powder mixture comprising wheat flour and powdered flavoring has an angle of repose of 33 to 54 degrees and the container is a shaker-type container having one or more shaker holes with a maximum width of 2 to 20 mm.
