Chicken
- salt
Over low heat, start heating about a 1/4 inch of oil in a wide, shallow frying pan.
Once your oil has reached 375°F/190°C, lay a breaded chicken into the pan (away from you to avoid oil splashing) and for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and the meat reaches 155°F/ 56°C internal temperature.
Rest the chicken on a wire rack or tray with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt immediately as it comes out of the pan. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
