Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts, gently pounded to ⅙ to 1⁄4 inch pieces
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup wheat beer, preferably Hefeweizen, Erdinger, Paulaner, Franziskaner, or Maisel
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
To serve:
- ¼ tsp parsley, chopped, per serving
- 1 cup potatoes, done to your preference, per serving
Instructions
- Brush the chicken with lemon juice on all sides and let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Add the flour and breadcrumbs into separate mixing bowls. Beat the eggs and beer in another mixing bowl.
- Dredge the cutlets in the flour mixture, dip them into the egg batter, and coat back with the same flour mixture. You may need to press gently so the crumbs adhere.

- Carefully place the breaded cutlets into the hot oil. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
