Chicken breast
Chicken breast is in 18 recipes and is the base of every fried chicken sandwich on the site. Whole breasts are too thick to cook evenly, so almost all of these recipes slice them horizontally into cutlets or pound them flat — that way the coating and the meat finish at the same time. Breast has almost no fat, which is why brining or a buttermilk marinade is not optional here: without it the inside is dry before the crust is golden.
