Chicken Snitz Question???

[Mum2Mimi]

So im making Chicken Snitzel for tea tonight but have never done it before so am just wondering how exactley LOL

do i just slice my chicken fillets then dip in egg then into bread crumbs? or does it need to be an egg and milk mix?

any pointers to will be apperciated :)

[Amara]

I cut the fillets up to make them a little easier to handle then flatten them. I coat them in flour, egg then bread crumbs. Works really well.

i cut them into thin slices, dip it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs then i shallow fry them in canola oil

[brogeybear]

Yeah I would bash them to flatten them too.

Flour them, into egg and milk (just a splash of milk so it emulsifies a bit), then into breadcrumbs.

Enjoy!

I always use the electric frypan for some reason it always turns out better. I use oil and butter for the flavour, but because butter burns at a low temperature then you need to add oil.

I always make my own schnitzels. For chicken I use thighs they are soooo much tastier and juicier not dry. And I pound out my meat really well. Sometimes I add parmesan cheese or similar to the breadcrumbs as well as garlic granules, parlsey the list can go on.

Oh k wow thanks for all your quick replies ladys :D

I too coat in flour, egg wash & then breadcrumbs - i also add Parmesan to my breadcrumbs.

I also sometimes coat my chicken in mustard & then breadcrumbs...YUM!!!

Or you could even try coating in yogurt & then crumb with crushed jatz biscuits....just to jazz things up a bit :D

I'd bash them if they're a bit fat... then flour, beaten egg and then the crumbs.

You can always try crumbing with different things too - I'm on a very low carb diet and therefore can't crumb with bread - but you can buy packets of "pork crackles" near the chips at the shops... you just smash them up till they're crumbs and then use them in place of breadcrumbs (I don't use flour first cos I can't, but you could).

well ladies the chicken sitzel was devine!!! i want to have more for tea tonight buthave no more chiken left :laughing: DD loved it aswell:D

sassy-never heard of the pork crackle in bag, where boust would i find it? like hwat is it generally near?

Can also try coating in corn flake crumbs- nice and crunchy

[brogeybear]

Yep cornflakes is what I crumb with as I am gluten free! VERY yummy!

[Mum2Mimi]

corn flakes you say....interesting :detective:

Sorry to go off-topic,but whenever I make schnitzels (using breast fillets) ,they never are well cooked inside (I like it well done),and I have to fry them for a looong time so that they're actually cooked inside as well .Am I right/wrong? :confused:

[brogeybear]

Mine always cook fine - but if you aren't flattening or butterflying the breast you will have one very thick side and a not so thick side and the thick side would take a long time to cook, so try beating or butterflying it, it should cook fine that way!

i found a recipie that says to coat the chicken in a tomato style salsa and then crumb in mashed up corn chips and bake it.


i loveeeeeeee adding parmesan and parsley to my crumbs for snitzel!!
