Best 8 Spicy Fried Chicken Cutlets Recipes

SPICY BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Start by preparing the chicken. Each chicken breast gets cut in half horizontally and pounded down with a mallet or skillet. Use plastic or parchment paper to surround the cutlets when pounding them down. Ideally you end up with four even thickness chicken cutlets.
• Add the listed spice mixture ingredients to a bowl and combine well. (Keep in mind that there's lots of leeway on the spice mixture so feel free to use what you have.)
• Combine the spice mixture with 2 cups of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of crumbled Cotija cheese.
• Your cutlet assembly line will have three stops. The first is a plate with 1/2 cup of flour, followed by a bowl with 2 whisked eggs, and then the seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Be sure to push the breadcrumbs into the chicken to create an even layer.
• Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil (you can optionally add a knob of butter). When the pan is hot cook the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then serve immediately.

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH SPICY ARUGULA

Steps:

• Put a chicken cutlet between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and, using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, pound it out about 1/4 inch thick. Season all over with some salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining 3 cutlets.
• Whisk the eggs in a large shallow bowl. Spread the panko in another large shallow bowl and stir in the grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning and basil. Have a large tray ready nearby. Dip a cutlet in the egg to coat all over, letting the excess drip off, and then press both sides into the panko, coating well. Set aside on the tray and repeat with the remaining 3 cutlets. Refrigerate the cutlets for 20 minutes.
• Set a large skillet over medium-high heat, add some canola oil and heat until hot (you can check by dropping in a little bit of the panko mixture; it should sizzle). Add 2 chicken cutlets and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Transfer each cutlet to a dinner plate.
• Carefully pour out and discard any remaining oil and crumbs in the skillet. Heat some more canola oil and cook the 2 remaining chicken cutlets. Top each cutlet with some Spicy Arugula and Parmesan shavings. Put a lemon wedge on each plate and serve.
• Put the lemon juice, shallots, Dijon mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Put the arugula in another bowl. Drizzle some of the dressing around the sides of the bowl. Toss to lightly coat the arugula; taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
