I really love Switzerland and its food. Switzerland is famous for things like fondue and cheese and chocolates. They also have some great fried chicken dishes. The people of Switzerland like to make fried chicken with some ideas from France and Italy which makes it really special.
1. Swiss Chicken Schnitzel – A Golden Delight
Swiss Chicken Schnitzel is one of the fried chicken dishes in Switzerland. While Austria is famous for its veal-based Wiener Schnitzel Switzerland makes a chicken version of it.
To make it they pound the chicken breast into slices. Then they cover the chicken with breadcrumbs and flour and egg and some herbs from the Alps or some Swiss cheese. After that they cook it until it is golden and crispy and serve it with a salad or some crispy grated potatoes, which they call rösti.
I love Swiss Chicken Schnitzel because it has a crunch on the outside. Sometimes they serve it with a mushroom sauce or some melted cheese, which makes it even better.
2. Berner Pouletflügeli – Swiss-Style Fried Chicken Wings
Everyone loves chicken wings and Switzerland has its special way of making them. They marinate the chicken wings in some Alpine herbs and garlic and mustard before they fry them.
What makes them unique is the flavor from the Swiss herb marinade. They often serve the wings with a dipping sauce made with honey and some Swiss mustard. If you like spicy and crispy fried chicken with a twist you have to try these wings.
3. Sennenpoulet – The Swiss Mountain Fried Chicken
Sennenpoulet comes from the alpine cuisine. It is a meal that involves marinating chicken in buttermilk and garlic and some Swiss Alpine herbs before frying it in a light flour batter.
The chicken is really tender and juicy because of the buttermilk marinade. It has a touch because of the mountain herbs they use. They usually serve it with potatoes or some potato rösti.
4. Zürcher Poulet Nuggets – Swiss Chicken Bites with a Twist
If you like bite- fried chicken you should try Zürcher Poulet Nuggets. These chicken nuggets have a crunch from the batter, which is made with some Swiss cheese and finely chopped herbs.
What makes them unique is the cheese in the coating, which gives it a flavor. They serve the nuggets with a side of Swiss-style garlic dip. These nuggets have a twist and are great, as a party appetizer or snack.
In the end Switzerland has a lot to offer when it comes to fried chicken. Whether you like chicken nuggets or crispy wings or Swiss schnitzel there is a fried chicken dish waiting for you in Switzerland.
If you enjoy fried chicken you should try it with a twist. You will discover a world of flavors from Switzerland and its food.
Thanks
