There are two kinds of chicken cutlets in the world—there are crispy cutlets and there are cutlets not worth eating. We’re here to talk about the former. This method for how to fry chicken cutlets will teach you how to do it right every time, resulting in a golden-brown crust on the outside and juicy chicken on the inside. The great news is that method is simple: You’ll start with chicken breasts, pound them until tender, and then coat with eggs and panko, a Japanese-style breadcrumb that is essential for maximum crispiness. Panko browns evenly, whereas a finer breadcrumb can burn or clump.
