  • Cuisine: Hungarian

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts
1 cup plain flour seasoned with salt and pepper
1 egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water
2 cups dry breadcrumbs
500 ml vegetable oil

Preparation

Place chicken breast on chopping board and with a sharp knife, slice evenly through to create 2 or depending on thickness, even 3 thin escalopes of chicken. Flatten out to even width with a meat mallet.

Lay out three large plates ready to coat the chicken - one with seasoned flour, another with egg mix, another with breadcrumbs.

Using one hand, lightly coat the chicken with flour, shake off excess, dip each side into egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat a deep frying pan with the oil and one or two at a time, cook the chicken schnitzel, turning over once the underside turns golden brown.

Prepare a draining bowl - a deep sided bowl filled with crumpled absorbent kitchen paper and stand the cooked schnitzel upright so more of the oil is able to drain away.

Serve with potatoes- mashed, boiled or fried.

Liven Up the Crumbs a Bit!
I like to liven up the coating a bit using a blend of ingrediants. Try a blend of breadcrumbs and oats, mixed with a little grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Or Panko breadcrumbs which can be found in the Asian sections of large supermarkets are fantasic.

Have been to corner 75 and , yes, he does make the best schnitzel. I am having a dinner party tomorrow and will follow his recipe, I thought one should use olive oil but as he used vegetable oil so will I. His restaurant is a delight- warm and friendly and anything you order there is good, authentic and tasty Four star

Hot Tips

Bringing meat to room temperature

Always bring your meat (this does not apply to minced meat) to room temperature before cooking it. This will allow for the exterior of the meat to brown nicely when it comes into contact with heat.

Carp

Considered a pest by many Australians, the European carp inhabits many of the continent's waterways. It is however prized by many communities including the Chinese and some Middle Eastern nationalities.

James Squire was Australia's first brewer. Soon after his arrival in Australia as a convict he stole a quantity of herbs known as horehound - the closest thing to hops he could find to brew the colony's first beer. Folklore has it the judge ordered 150 lashes... and 2 barrels of ale.
