Crispy Breaded Chicken Cutlets

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Side Dishes
The secret to perfect breaded chicken is the 'breading trinity' and temp control. Flour for adhesion, egg for glue, crumbs for crunch. Done right, the crust puffs away from the meat, golden and bubbly, while the chicken steams to tenderness inside.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice chicken breasts into cutlets and pound to 1/4 inch thickness. Salt and let rest 10 mins.

Tip: Even thickness ensures even cooking.
2 ✓

Prepare station: 1. Flour, 2. Beaten eggs (with S&P), 3. Breadcrumbs.

Tip: Beat eggs well for an even coat.
3 ✓

Dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg, coat in crumbs. Press crumbs gently with palm.

Tip: Shaking off excess flour prevents coating separation.
4 ✓

Heat oil. Ready when a crumb sizzles immediately.

Tip: Use enough oil so chicken floats/swims for even frying.
5 ✓

Fry 3-4 mins per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.

Tip: Don't overcrowd pan or oil cools and breading gets greasy.
