Austrian fried chicken dish

Backhendl or Wiener Backhendl (English: Viennese fried chicken), has been a specialty of Viennese cuisine since the 18th century. It consists of prepared and spiced portions of chicken, which are breaded and crispy deep fried.[1] Often served with a lemon wedge on the side.[2]

Backhendl

Originally, the preparation of this dish had been a breaded and baked chicken, since only the Viennese upper class would have had access to fried foods.
