Serving Suggestions

Note

• Garlic powder is something you can use when the recipe has to be fried but you still want that garlic flavour. If you used fresh garlic in its place, the garlic would burn and taste bitter before the chicken was cooked through.
• If you are cooking a large number of schnitzels, you may like to keep them warm in a very low oven set at 120°C. until you have cooked all the chicken. This will ensure it is still warm and will keep that coating crunchy.
• You may like to increase the chilli powder for more bite or omit it altogether if serving to small children.
