Vincenzo’s Top Tip To Make Chicken Schnitzel
Season generously
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as paprika or garlic powder, to enhance the flavor of the schnitzel.
Coat it right
Dredge the chicken in flour, dip it into beaten eggs, and then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure a crispy and even coating.
Resting time
Let the coated chicken rest for a few minutes before frying. This helps the coating adhere well to the meat and prevents it from falling off during cooking.
Use the right oil
Heat a generous amount of oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, in a skillet or frying pan. The oil should be hot but not smoking before adding the breaded chicken cutlets.
Fry with care
Place the breaded chicken schnitzels in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, typically around 3-4 minutes per side.
