One of the most beloved meals in Australian pubs, the Chicken Parmigiana, or “Parma” as Aussies call it, is a golden-crisp masterpiece. It’s usually what I order at a pub and serves are never small. This Aussie pub classic is smothered in rich Napoli sauce, topped with ham to keep the crispy panko coating from going soggy, and finished with a blanket of melted cheese. It’s always served with thick-cut, chips (fries) and sometimes triple-fried for that perfect crunch and a well-dressed salad to balance the indulgence. Aussies love pairing it with a large ice-cold beer (schooner) or three, it’s practically a tradition! Whether you’re making it at home or visiting Australia, this dish is a must-try. How do you think it compares to the original Italian version?

  1. Wow, half Italian style-half! Ham? Cheddar? Interesting Joel! Ok. We Love chicken cutlets so this weekend sounds like a plan! Frying 3 times? Wow. Twice WAS my limit for Poutine but I suppose Light frying each time won’t be too much?… ok I’ll let you know. That Kenji is so cute and a little anxious to get some of your great cooking! He too is a Great Companion. I’m happy for you and him.

  2. OK, you got me. Subbed and making this for the family soon. My local pub calls itself the House of Schnitzel but we all know that's because churning out dozens of deep-fried snittys and parmys on trivia night is cheap and easy. This looks like the right way to do it, Mutti tomatoes and all!

  3. audio track is very annoying. pointless music, silly effects (like the swoosh whenever the pepper mill moves). Why not simply use the ACTUAL SOUNDS of the recipe was being made.

  4. BOTH!!! I am going to make this for my family and I want to come to Australia!! Oh, the memories…my dad always had to have a glass in the freezer then pour the beer. 🤩🍺 Cheers Chef!

  5. Omg! The crunch, the jazz, the ham and double melted cheese with a pint! This is the best movie I've watched on a weekday. Just that it ended too soon. Have a wonderful evening Chef!

  6. Wow, it looks absolutely delicious. Thank you chef 👨‍🍳. Hello sweet Kenji. Love you ❤❤❤

  7. Joel, you never cease to amaze me. This looks out of this world, Mate! I have a silly question, though. When you use oil for the chips, how do you store the remaining oil? I usually bake my chips, so I never have a problem with the oil. Kenji got so big. So cute. Thanks chef!

  8. I used to get something similiar in Middlebrough UK. Difference being chicken is topped with rich bechamel sauce and cheese. Good recipe, thank you for sharing.

  9. I love all of your recipes,they are not hard to follow and always turn out great.I could easily have this on a menu for dinner guests.Don't forget you promised us your cook book at the end of this year!!

  10. Delicious beyond compare!! Absolutely the Best chef on YouTube!! Excellent recipies!;Gordon Ramsay could take some lessons from this Guy😊 Thank you for sharing your terrific recipes.

  11. Wasn't Kenji expecting a piece of the chicken? Have made the standards chicken parm several times, must try this one. Looks amazing. 
    By the way, what does one do with all that leftover oil from the fries?

  12. Never had a chicken Parma in my life….sorry Im from South Africa….but this looks bladdy tasty can't wait to try it out

  13. “Cheddar or some tasty cheese….” Because there’s a cheese that isn’t? 😅 Great job! Glad you kept it simple and prepared right.

  14. Yep that's a real Aussie meal. Chips with everything
    However,I hate chips,especially with protein meals. Better to have a nice clean salad on the side. Maybe live a little longer
