CONS

Deep-frying the chicken cutlets makes them high in calories and fat, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is high in protein and low in fat, making it an excellent option for those looking for a healthy, balanced meal. It’s also an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including niacin, selenium, and vitamin B6.
However, deep-frying the chicken cutlets takes away many of the health benefits of chicken, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.
