Backhendl is a traditional Austrian dish consisting of breaded and fried chicken, often served with potatoes, salad, or lemon wedges for garnish. The dish originated in the 18th century and became a staple of Viennese cuisine, with its crispy, golden coating achieved by dredging chicken pieces in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs before deep-frying them. While Backhendl provides a good source of protein from the chicken, its nutritional profile depends on preparation methods. Frying significantly increases calorie and fat content, which may not suit those monitoring their fat intake. Serving it with a fresh salad or vegetables can balance the meal’s nutritional value. Baking instead of frying is a lighter alternative. Its savory taste and comforting texture make Backhendl a popular choice, but moderation and pairing with nutritious sides are key to enjoying it as part of a well-rounded diet.
