Instructions:

  • Step 1.

    Preheat fryer to 325℉.

  • Step 2.

    In a large bowl, combine Hungry Planet Chicken™, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix, until well combined. Once mixed, separate chicken into 4- 4 ounce portions. Shape chicken patties into cutlets, being sure not to make them look too uniform for a more “conventional chicken” look. Each patty should be about ¾ of an inch thick and about 4 to 5 inches long. Once formed, place patties onto a plate, and place them into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until ready to use.

  • Step 3.

    Place milk and egg in a shallow baking dish and stir to combine. In another baking dish combine flour, thyme, baking powder, pepper, and seasoning salt in a bowl and mix until well combined.

  • Step 4.

    Take cutlets out of the refrigerator and dip them into a slurry mixture to coat. This will help the breading stick to the chicken while frying. Once all cutlets are evenly coated, dredge each piece in flour mixture and evenly coat.

  • Step 5.

    Place chicken cutlet into the fryer, and cook until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165℉.

  • Step 6.

    To make your gravy, in a large pan add butter and heat on medium-high, stir in your flour until absorbed, and cook for about 1 minute.

  • Step 7.

    Slowly add in your milk, bouillon, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper whisking to blend. Cook mixture for 2 minutes on low, until thickened. Cover and keep warm until ready to use.

  • Step 8.

    Once finished, place on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve with mashed potatoes, gravy, and your favorite vegetable.
