How to Make Fried Chicken Cutlets

I come from a long line of home cooks, and one of the great meals that my mom did for me and my brother growing up was chicken cutlets, fried chicken cutlets

I love them, but there's a process to it, and I'm going to show you the best way to do it today

I've got all-purpose flour, eggs, heavy cream, and some panko. To make sure that things are even, you'll want to season your flour

So I'm going to sprinkle in a little salt and pepper to my flour and also to my breadcrumbs

And we'll just whisk this together a little bit, make sure it's nice and spread out

All right, so my dry ingredients are seasoned. I'm going to add about a quarter cup of heavy cream to my eggs

And give them a whisk as well. My mama did when I was growing up

probably fried pork chops, chicken fried steak, which is actually beef. You know, you can do all those things

with this very same process. All right, so when you're doing your dredging process

you're going to want to keep one hand wet and one hand dry

and make sure that you use that method all throughout the process

So I going to open up my chicken cutlets I going to put my hands on this And I say that my right hand is going to be my wet hand and my left hand will be the dry hand

So let's go ahead and go to the flour. Get this nice and coated

All right, I'm going to switch to my wet hand. go into our egg and cream mixture

And the benefit of this is if you keep one hand wet and one dry, then you're just going to have a lot less of a mess

So into the breadcrumbs and back with my dry hand. I've got a cast iron skillet going with some vegetable oil

and it's shimmering, so it looks to be a really perfect temperature. Now we're just going to lay this in

and always lay whatever you're cooking in a skillet full of hot oil

Make sure you lay it away from you, so if there is a splash, it doesn't splash back on you

Lay it down this way. Ooh, that's going to be delicious. And if you'll follow these simple tips

you'll get perfect chicken cutlets every time, I promise. Thank you
