Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved thin
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup absorbed vegetable oil, for frying
  • 4 refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 1/2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup red pepper jelly
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle chips
  • 1 tsp each paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Bake the biscuits per the package, about 14 minutes at 400F, until risen and browned on top; brush them with melted butter while hot.
  2. Soak the thin chicken cutlets in the buttermilk for 10 minutes so the coating has something to grip.
  3. Stir the seasonings into the flour, then press each wet cutlet firmly into it, shake off the loose flour, and let the pieces sit 3 minutes until the coating looks damp.
  4. Heat 1/3 inch of oil to 350F in a heavy skillet; a pinch of flour should sizzle immediately.
  5. Fry the cutlets 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the crust is golden brown and the thickest part reads 165F.
  6. Drain on a rack and salt them right away while the surface is still hot.
  7. Split the biscuits, spread pepper jelly on both cut sides, and build with a cutlet and pickle chips.
