WIENER BACKHENDL (from The Cooking Of Burgenland by Alois Schmidl,
 as translated by Bob Strauch)

Ingredients:
  • 2 small young chickens (about 2 lb. each) cut in pieces
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • lard
  • 4 sprigs parsley
  • 1/2 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs (preferably made from Vienna bread with crust)
Preparation:
Lightly salt chicken. Dip first in flour, then in beaten eggs and then in bread crumbs. Press crumbs into chicken. Fry quickly so a good crust forms in hot lard deep enough so chicken swims. Lower heat and continue frying about 20 minutes or until done. Fry parsley and use as garnish.

Notes:
Serves 4. Note that this recipe, unlike several other chicken recipes, does not use paprika.
