Schnitzel and Onion Rings

At my house, we make our schnitzel a little different. Classic schnitzel is really thin veal, breaded and baked. At our house, we take chicken breast, bread it and then deep fry it. HEAVEN. Also, breading? Perfect for little hands! It gets very messy ;)

Pohanje (Po-han-yeah)

6 chicken breasts, cut into rough quarters
Salt, pepper, paprika, Vegeta (optional, a Croatian spice mix)
Vegetable oil
Flour in a bowl
Eggs, beaten in a bowl
Breadcrumbs, in a bowl


Season and coat the chicken with the spices and enough oil to lightly coat.
Breading: taking pieces one at a time, cover in flour. Dip in the egg until covered. Dip in them breadcrumbs and fully cover the chicken.


Set the deep fryer to the chicken setting (usually 350F) and cook the chicken until dark brown. Serve and enjoy!

Pre-frying. Full of potential!

 Onion Rings


I decided to try making onion rings the same way we did the chicken. Why not?

6 onion, cut short-wise to keep rings intact. Separate the rings.
Bread in the same manner as the chicken.
Deep fry until deep golden.

Pre-frying.

YUM!

I had also made some mashed potatoes, but left the skins on. I might be a little lazy, HA. The onion rings came out really well. Since I hadn't used a classic batter, the rings weren't 100% covered. But you know what? It worked! They became really sweet but had a slight crunch from the breading. I have been told these will have to be made again.
