Chicken fried steak is said to have originated in the Southern United States, particularly in Texas. The dish is believed to have been inspired by German and Austrian immigrants' traditional wiener schnitzel. Over time, the preparation method evolved, using cube steak instead of veal and incorporating Southern-style breading and frying techniques.
