Method
Flatten the chicken thighs to an even thickness and season lightly.
Coat each piece in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and fry the breaded chicken for 5 minutes per side until deeply golden.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a chicken piece; it must read at least 74 degrees Celsius before removing from the pan.
In a clean pan, soften the sliced onion, then stir in the chicken stock, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and sugar and simmer into a glossy gravy.
Spoon the onion gravy over the fried chicken chops before serving.
