Chef Reveals Secret to Extra Crispy Schnitzel Using Panko and Chips

Chef Haim Bornstein has shared his recipe for what he claims is the crispiest and most delicious schnitzel, emphasizing a unique coating method. The recipe calls for chicken breast, eggs, mustard, chili, and barbecue sauce for the batter.

The key to the schnitzel's crispiness, according to Bornstein, lies in foregoing traditional breadcrumbs entirely and using only panko breadcrumbs. For added flavor and crunch, he suggests crushing Doritos or Bissli snacks into the panko. The chicken cutlets are dipped in the egg mixture, coated thoroughly with the panko and snack blend, and then fried in hot oil until golden brown.

Bornstein recommends serving and eating the schnitzel immediately while it is fresh, hot, and at its crispiest. He humorously advises that the best way to keep it crispy for the next day is to simply make more schnitzel the following day.
