Kosher Kopykat: The Bissli Schnitzel That the Kids (and Adults) Love
I discovered these chicken fingers at The Bucket in Woodridge and recreated an inspired version in my Lakewood kitchen.
I ordered these chicken fingers during one of our last meals up in the Mountains last summer…and it was a good thing because I found myself going back for another round.
It’s made with super snacks, but you can call it the supper snack (picky eaters will love that). Warning: This often does not make it to the table. It’s also great for Friday afternoon “toameha.”
Note: While this uses an assortment of Bissli, avoid the Falafel Bits flavor. The spices do not complement the rest of the flavors.
Pulse the Bissli to a coarse crumb.
Place flour, egg, and crumb mixture in three shallow bowls.

Sure you can bake it just spray with Pam and you can use an elevated wire rack. For best results
