Golden, crumbed schnitzels served alongside delicious sides top the list of family favourites. And the most popular on that list would have to be the classic chicken schnitty. Sure you can buy a premade schnitzel, but there’s something to say for creating your own from scratch. Coating tender schnitzel in breadcrumbs and frying until golden brown and cooked to tender perfection. Serve with your choice of potato mash, crunchy chips or potatoes and your favourite greens or side dish.

Nothing says classic pub meal like a chicken schnitzel and your favourite pub grub tastes even better when homemade. So whip one up, turn on the footy and enjoy!
