Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Mini Vienna sausages
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Open the can of mini Vienna sausages and drain them thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Dip each mini Vienna sausage into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 4
Next, dip the floured sausage into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely covered.
Step 5
Finally, roll the sausage in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining sausages.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Alternatively, test by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil—if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 7
Working in small batches, fry the breaded sausages for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
