Boneless fried chicken

Recipe
Austrian cuisine
Chicken

The boneless fried chicken is a classic of Viennese cuisine, captivating with its crispy coating and tender chicken meat. Perfectly marinated it is fried to golden perfection and traditionally served with a fresh potato salad. A delight that brings the tradition and flavors of Vienna to your plate!

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
2 organic or free-range chickens, deboned and skinned (tip: there are many good video tutorials on the internet for deboning, or you can leave it to the butcher. Either way, save the wings, carcasses, skin and innards for a great soup stock)
3 eggs
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 cup(s) breadcrumbs
Salt
2 lemons
Parsley
Vegetable oil for frying
  • Remove any remaining tendons and gristle from the separated upper and lower legs.
  • Remove the inner fillets from the breasts (use for barbecuing or for stock) and cut the higher side three times against the grain at 1-inch (2-centimeter) intervals up to the middle. Take care not to cut all the way through!
  • Salt all parts well and bread them traditionally in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
  • Then fry them in a skillet in vegetable oil at approx. 320 °F (160 °C) for about 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown on all sides (use only tongs, never a fork, to turn them).
  • The skillet should always be moving slightly (this makes sure that the breading will develop a slightly “wavy” surface and also ensures even cooking). Place the finished chicken pieces on kitchen paper and dab on the top side as well.
  • Then briefly fry the washed and dried parsley in the still-hot oil. Carefully lift it out of the pan and allow it to drain well.
  • Place ½ lemon on the plate with the cut surface facing upwards, sprinkle with the fried parsley and arrange the chicken pieces next to it.
  • Serve with a potato & lamb‘s lettuce salad as a perfect side dish.

Wine tip

Bright medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Delicate notes of nougat and caramel, ripe yellow tropical fruit, a hint of blossom honey, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant,...
