Air Fryer Chicken Thigh Schnitzel

Excellent and easy recipe that my kids loved! I play with different herbs & spices in the panko to give their palates exposure to flavors from all over the world.

Plain breadcrumbs but add kinders butter steak house seasoning!!!

Authentic. This tasted like the homemade schnitzel friends made when I was in Germany, without the grease. Another review said that it was bland. That made me realize this may be pretty authentic as that was my first reaction to what I had in Germany. BUT, after living there a while I learned a few things from eating Schnitzel at different houses: as the other review mentioned, season those breadcrumbs to taste! For me that was more salt. Second, grease, that’s another flavor source, so I sprayed my second batch with more spray on oil and it came out closer to the golden brown I’m used to. (I used olive oil, because that also has a flavor I like). Third, how well the meat is pounded, not too much and not too little—sorry I can’t describe it, this is just a visual for me. You want the meat nice and soft in the crunchy breadcrumb shell. The first batch for me was a learning lesson. The second came out terrific, juicy on the inside, crunchy exterior. However I was SO hungry I forgot to take a picture. I’ll add next time I make it.

This would of been better with more seasoning. I did not flatten the thighs. Some dill and more salt maybe som garlic salt would of been amazing. Will try next time.
