For an extra crispy coating, consider double-dredging the chicken: Dip in egg, then breadcrumbs, then egg again, and finally breadcrumbs. Panko bread crumbs provide a lighter, crispier texture than regular bread crumbs. If unavailable, you can use finely crushed cornflakes or gluten-free breadcrumbs as substitutes. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent during frying to prevent the schnitzel from becoming greasy or undercooked. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures uniform cooking and a tender result.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and crushed garlic until well combined. (2 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning. (1 minute)
03
Step
10 mins
Pour vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). A deep fryer can also be used for this recipe. (5-7 minutes)
04
Step
15 mins
Dredge each chicken breast half in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess egg to drip off, then immediately press the chicken into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides evenly and firmly. (10 minutes)
05
Step
20 mins
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the hot oil using tongs. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown, and crispy. (12-16 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Remove the cooked schnitzel from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the schnitzel.
