Schnitzel

[Screwtop]

No offence to anyone here, but Chicken Schnitzels are one of the worst foods around IMO.. :icon_vomit:
KFC is much nicer, yet people still rave over schnitzels.... Why???? :unsure: Chicken Breast should be treated in a much nicer way....

Each to their own though.. :huh:

The quality of food and the way its prepared today would make Escoffier turn in his grave...

Oh, some ladies once came into our Restaurant and looked at the Menu, they said "There is no Chicken Schnitzels on the menu, you can usually tell how good a Restaurant is by its Schnitzel" I could do nothing but walk away!!!! Much better food out there..................

:lol: It is what it is CB - chicken Pizza.

i did the 18" Schnitzel at the adelaide casino, wow was that big!!! but mrs parmas was awesome when i was over there will be going back for sure.

brings me too another point my mates always say "why do you always order a schnitzel when we go to a pub?" my answer is you always know what your getting. I have been too so many places where people who im with get a pasta or something else and there nearly always disappointed i get a snitty and pepper sauce and im happy.

They used to do a massive parma at the Skinny Dog in Kew.

and who says its not about the crumbing on a snitz, best parma i've ever had was when i used to work at the lounge on swanston st and the cook there would cota the snitz's in crushed up CC's and cornflake crumbs. was fantastic.

Chicken Breast should be treated in a much nicer way....

I agree. I prefer my parmys uncrummed.

I assume you are referring to Schnittys in pubs?

I make chicken schnittys at home (as well as veal and pork), last batch had a mushroom gravy from field mushys i picked that day! :icon_drool2:

Not deep fried and as mentioned by others already, herbs, parmesan in the crumbs and cooked on the bbq.

Ahh.. I havent seen peas_and_corn in a while, I was wondering where he went.

 

[kirem]

how big does a chicken have to be to get a chicken schnitz as big as soe of those featured above?

It doesn't seem normal to me.

I make my own and would never be able to get a schnitz that big out of a breast.

are those oversized schnitz full of growth hormones or are they multiple breasts in one schnitz?

im no chef but im guessing they cut the chicken in half and sort of fold it over. Butterfly style it's called I think? **** I wouldn't know to be honest.

 

[brettprevans]

yeah, butterfly the chicken so its a double breast. or its a processed one and then its all just jammed together into a shape like 'chicken loaf' etc

 

[drsmurto]

I get 2 schnittys out of 1 chicken breast.....

 

[Adamt]

I think most of the ones that come from my local mega-schnit place are two butterflied breasts connected to each other somehow.

Breasts are better in pairs anyway...

CB on a food thread that is a first... I was wondering how long it would take and you choose this one...


I agree I didnt relise how popular they were until we ran a bistro and didnt have parmas on the menu! We were forced to being in a pub and they walked out the door!

If we do them at home which is rarely (they Lloydie is a massive fan) we use chicken thigh! we never buy chicken breasts unless there attached to the bird!

there is a place for schnitzel! but done so badly in most pubs! But eaten how Kia suggest mmmmmm

 

[brettprevans]

thigh is an under rated peice of chicken. i like making 'mini' thigh schnitz'. no hassle of banging them out. we mainly use thighs in our cooking as the breast is a pain in the ass to cook a lot of the time (ie dries out).

well I just finshed my lunch schnitz. yum. just needed a pot of beer to go with it.

 

[Maple]

Absolutely. Whenever I make schnitzel I just make plain simple pork or veal, pork is more erratic but comes out better on a good day. Cook up a shitload to justify taking all that crumbing ingredients & effort. Serve with a potato salad made with finely chopped dill pickles & red onion and a dressing of cream, sour cream, mayo, seeded mustard and horseradish cream. Add a couple of dill pickles and a pat of mustard to the plate on serving.

Then, because you've cooked so much, eat schnitzel, potato salad, mustard and dill pickle sandwiches on dark rye bread for the rest of the week :icon_drool2:

Kai, that sounds spot on! Dark rye, pickle sammies with the left overs are the go

thigh is an under rated peice of chicken. i like making 'mini' thigh schnitz'.

The ony time i use breast is on the whole bird, schnitzel or Poached.. favourite use is in Hainanese Chicken :icon_drool2:

Thigh is the way to go for everything else.. best way is marinated in a hot Vietnamese satay i can buy at the local asian grocer (lots of dried chilli, peanut, garlic etc) then grilled and popped into a baguette with asian salad greens and fish sauce based dressing (Nuoc Cham)... awesome.

I shudder when i see the kan-tong etc ad's where they stirfry (in a nonstick 3 inch thick 'wok') chicken breast! diced chicken breast = dry rubber bullets. end of story.
