Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts large chicken breasts
  • Potato Chips kettle-cooked for extra crunch
  • Flour all-purpose flour
  • Eggs large eggs
  • Buffalo Sauce Frank's RedHot or favorite hot sauce
  • Butter real butter for richness
For the Ranchy Celery Slaw
  • Mayonnaise foundation of slaw dressing
  • Labneh/Sour Cream Greek yogurt is an alternative
  • Fresh Herbs (Dill, Parsley, Chives) adds brightness
  • Garlic Powder/Onion Powder for depth of flavor
  • Lemon Juice or vinegar as a substitute
  • Celery for crunch in the slaw
  • Avocado optional for creaminess
  • Milk to adjust dressing consistency

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Meat mallet
  • shallow dishes
  • heavy-bottomed pan
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, labneh (or sour cream), chopped herbs, garlic powder, lemon juice, and milk until the desired dressing consistency is achieved. Add in finely sliced celery and cubed avocado (if using) into the mixture. Toss everything together until the celery is well-coated, then set aside.
  2. Start by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Using a meat mallet, pound each piece to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and crushed potato chips.
  3. Coat each chicken cutlet in seasoned flour, then dip it into the eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press into the crushed potato chips, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add oil to cover the bottom by about ¼ inch. Once shimmering, fry the cutlets in batches for 5-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and stir in Frank's RedHot sauce along with garlic powder. Mix until heated and combined, creating a rich buffalo sauce.
  6. Transfer the fried cutlets into a mixing bowl, pour the warm buffalo sauce over them and gently toss to coat evenly.
  7. Serve the buffalo chicken cutlets topped with the ranchy celery slaw.
