Preparation step 1 Boiled potatoes in a pan with parsley.
Prepare potatoes
Boil real, fresh potatoes in salted water with a little caraway and parsley until soft, drain, let the steam evaporate and peel.
Place the peeled potatoes in a pan with the butter and about 1/3 of the fresh, finely chopped parsley.
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper and some freshly grated nutmeg.
Preparation step 2 Dredge the chicken breast, thigh and wings in the flour. Original chicken nuggets, here you can still see what you eat!
Prepare chicken
Cut the chicken:
First detach the breast, detach the wings, cut off the drumsticks.
Halve the chicken breasts lengthwise, and halve the chicken thighs at the joint.
Season the prepared chicken pieces with salt and pepper, place in the flour and flour on all sides.
Preparation step 3 The floured chicken meat is now in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs. Original breaded and homemade chicken nuggets taste better!
Bread chicken
Dip the chicken pieces coated in flour in the beaten egg.
Preparation step 4 Breaded chicken, as far as prepared, the Homemade Chicken Nuggets can make a free swimmer in the hot fat. Rapeseed oil and a temperature range of 160-170°C are ideal.
Fry chicken
Finally, gently press the chicken pieces in breadcrumbs.
For frying, preheat the rapeseed oil in a saucepan or in the fryer at 170°C – 338°F and fry the breaded chicken pieces until crispy light brown.
Preparation step 5 First fry the parsley in a pan with a little oil.
Fry parsley
Fry the remaining parsley briefly until crispy, place on a plate lined with kitchen paper and season with salt.
The fried chicken is a southern German, Bavarian and Austrian specialty.
Many of us know the breaded chicken from the Wienerwald.
The chicken, coated with a coating of flour, egg and fine breadcrumbs (breadcrumbs), tastes delicious with cranberries and parsley potatoes.
The following things are important:
If you make this yourself, use the best and finest breadcrumbs you can get.
My recommendation is Mie de Pain: –> Thinly cut the rind off a tin of white bread and let the bread dry. –> Then grate fine crumbs.
Pay attention to the order when breading: flour, egg, breadcrumbs.
The breaded chicken is allowed to swim freely in hot fat at 160°C – 170°C. –> Higher temperatures are not recommended as the chicken will need a good amount of time in the hot fat to fully cook.
Prepare Breaded Chicken: The chicken meat cooks gently due to the coating with breading and offers a crispy, fine taste experience.
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
4. Fried Chicken With or Without Skin?
A common question is the chicken skin thing:
Can the skin be left on or does the skin have to be peeled off?
You can leave the skin on the fried chicken or remove it, it’s a matter of taste!
In any case, you should only use organic chicken for your fried chicken, it simply tastes better.
Meat is a holiday food in many countries around the world. These two chickens have been prepared for a family party. I was amazed, chicken stew for 20 people was made from it.
5. Fried Chicken Viennese Style
One of the classics of Austrian cuisine is the Viennese style fried chicken.
So these are figuratively – Viennese Chicken Nuggets…
A good chicken comes with parsley potatoes as a side dish and with freshly fried parsley, lemon and cranberries as extras.
Below are the most important tips for an initial overview:

Hello Thomas,
here in USA we have many recipe for fried chicken.
I came across your recipe by accident and I find it particularly delicious.
The combination with cowberries is delicious and makes us forget ketchup and barbecue sauce 🙂
To the breadcrumbs without crust I still have a question.
How long do you let the breadcrumbs dry before finely grating?
Thanks Sally

Hi Sally,
Thanks for your yummy, yummy feedback!
I’ll get right to your question about the dried rolls:
The rolls should really be completely dry. 3-4 days of dry storage, not in the fridge, is usually perfect. It is easier to cut off the crust beforehand. I usually use a box white bread, which is particularly nice to grate finely.
Wish you good luck!
Greetings Thomas

Hello Thomas, this is an excellent recipe and the signature of a great chef is evident.
I have cooked your special fried chicken several times and it tastes like in Vienna, where I studied.
My girlfriends like the dish very much and we cook this together next time we meet.
My cooking question: How long and at what temperature can I keep the baked chicken pieces warm in the oven?
Would really appreciate an answer!
Greetings Sunny
