Crispy Chicken Cutlets are a totally different version of chicken nuggets. Instead of breadcrumbs or batter this recipe uses crushed crisps. It may sound strange but the amazing crispness of the skin adds so much texture and you can use any flavour you like. Not just salted but what about cheese and onion, prawn cocktail etc.. There are so many flavours to explore and will definitely make a change from the norm. Serve as a main dish or as a snack, these are delicious.
