Who doesn’t love fried chicken, a mouthwatering combination of crispy and tender at its best?

Although many countries have their own version of it, Schnitzel actually originated in Austria where it is the national dish. In both Austria and Germany where it is also very popular, Schnitzel is most commonly prepared using veal. For all you poultry lovers I’ve put my own delicious twist on it.
