🔥 Fried Chicken Cutlets (Crispy + Juicy)
Ingredients
- Chicken breast cutlets (thin-sliced)
- Buttermilk (or milk + splash of vinegar)
- 2 eggs
- Flour
- Cornstarch (key for extra crunch)
- Seasonings:
- Salt, black pepper
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Cayenne (optional heat)
- Oil for frying (canola/peanut)
Marinate (don’t skip)
- Soak cutlets in buttermilk + salt, pepper, garlic powder.
- Cover & chill at least 1 hour (overnight = elite).
Breading Station
- Bowl 1: Flour + cornstarch + seasonings
- Bowl 2: Eggs (beaten)
- Bowl 3: Seasoned flour again (double-dredge magic)
Fry Game
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge chicken → egg → flour (press it in).
- Fry 3–4 min per side until golden.
- Rest on a rack (not paper towels—keeps it crispy).
