Preparing chicken
Chicken legs, thighs, drumsticks and fillets are suitable for cutlets.

Cutlet mass
Soak white bread in milk for 10-15 minutes.
Peel the onion and cut into quarters.
Twist chopped chicken with onions and soaked bread through a meat grinder. Add the egg, salt (about a third of a teaspoon) and black ground pepper to the resulting mass. Mix everything thoroughly and leave on the kitchen table for 20 minutes.
Roasting
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat strongly. Knead the cutlet mass again. Then take the minced meat with a tablespoon and put it in a bowl of flour. Roll the cutlet in flour on all sides and flatten a little so that it becomes thin. They should be about 1-1.5 cm thick.
