While pounding poultry might seem tedious, it does serve several purposes. For one, it tenderizes the meat. And by making the thickness of the patties consistent, it ensures even cooking (no dry edges). Finally, can you imagine how tall this sandwich would be if you didn’t flatten the chicken? If you don’t own a mallet, a heavy skillet or rolling pin totally works too.
