This is a fast and easy dish to prepare and cook. Just like chicken tenders are a popular fast food dish, these chicken cutlets are simple and don’t include so many harmful ingredients like the drive-thru ones do!

kfc chicken recipe  849x1024 1

Perfectly spiced, these thin chicken cutlets have arrived to become your new family favorite meal. Just like chicken tenders, they’re popular with kiddos and are quick to make. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red chili powder combine to make these cutlets perfect-tasting. the crushed oats and bread crumbs perfectly make the crispy outside to the cutlets.

Now, for the meat. These chicken cutlets are super easy to make using thin dark thigh meat. Though chicken breast can be used, chicken thighs are not as dry if you’re using white meat. In cooking, chicken breasts can dry out if you’re not too careful. To make this recipe easier, I listed dark thigh meat to make it go by easier and stress-free!

To make these delicious, quick, and crispy fried chicken cutlets, all you have to do is marinate first in a chili sauce, then dip in the whisked egg, and then coat them in a seasoned oat-bread crumb mixture. Finally, they’re fried for a crispy finish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, a side salad, and you’re good to go!

How to Make Chicken Cutlets for Your next Weeknight Dinner

First, gather the ingredients.

Lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Chicken thighs: boneless and skinless

Egg: Large one

Flour: All-purpose flour, and unbleached

Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red chili powder

Bread crumbs: panko is a good option

Crushed oats: If you don’t have the oats on hand, or forgot to buy them, just add more of panko bread crumbs.

Oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil in my recipes, but you can use whatever oil you like. For frying, I like to use a light oil.

Dip in egg mixture. Then back into the flour mixture.
