Preparation
- Wrap the chicken loosely in plastic wrap and pound gently with the flat side of a meat tenderiser until about ½ inch thick all over, then cut into two even pieces.
- Marinate in the pickle juice for 30 minutes to one hour (add a teaspoon of Tabasco now for a spicy version).
- Beat the egg with the milk in a bowl, and combine the flour, sugar and spices in another bowl.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg on both sides, then coat in the flour on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a skillet, about ½ inch deep, to 345–350°F.
- Fry each cutlet for 2 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
- Blot on paper and serve on toasted buns with pickle slices.
