Notes

To achieve the best results, chill the breaded chicken for 15 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better. Feel free to experiment with additional flavorings or spices according to your preferences. Serve with classic German sides such as spaetzle, potato salad, or a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Enjoy them cold or reheated!
