  2. Toast the buttered rolls face down in a skillet until they are deeply golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets in hot oil until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and crackle slightly when moved.
  4. Drain the hot chicken cutlets on a wire cooling rack rather than paper towels to preserve the crispy exterior.

Notes

Do not dress the lettuce until the absolute last minute to prevent it from wilting. Store leftover chicken and salad in separate containers to keep the sandwich components fresh.
