• Combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a second dish. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third dish.
• Dry cutlets with paper towels, and dredge each in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off any excess. Next dredge tenderloins in the egg-buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess. Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
• Spread each roll with mayonnaise then add lettuce, pickle slices, and cutlets.

When it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped in immediately rises to surface and sizzles, carefully add a few cutlets in a single layer (do not crowd skillet). Fry, flipping once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let stand until drained and crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cutlets.
