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.
