In order for the Bakhandel to turn out tasty and juicy, the chicken must be sprinkled well with lemon juice, salt, pepper and marinate for about an hour. At first glance, it seems to many that this dish is very similar to Viennese schnitzel, but in fact these are two completely different recipes both in taste and in appearance, respectively.
