Italian
Crispy Chicken Cutlets With Salmoriglio Sauce

I love the poultry of each description and if I don’t like crunchy brown chicken cutlets at least every two weeks, something is missing in my life. These cutlets can be prepared in advance and then fried in a pan just before serving. They are served with a lemon herbal sauce which is popular in Calabria and Sicily.

Salmorgio derives from the Italian word for brine, “brine”; In addition to lemon and olive oil, herbs can be changed according to preferences. I use a combination of fresh oregano and parsley in my version, but some people add basil or mint to their sauce. The sauce is used as a marinated or finishing sauce for a variety of proteins and adds a brilliant liveliness to grilled meats and seafood. Personally I like to serve it on my chicken. Dishes, whether they are grilled chicken chicken thighs or pan -fried chicken cutlets.

Although a simple dish to prepare, the only trick to obtain the best and crunchy cutlets is to make sure they have the same thickness so that they cook evenly. I do my chicken in a pan with a combination of butter and olive oil to obtain a golden brown crust.
