In this work we study the quantum Otto engine[1,2] with the working substance of frustrated ferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain[3,4]. The presence of the finite spin chirality in the working substance allows driving a cycle by the external electric field. We observe a direct connection between chirality, entanglement and the efficiency of the engine and find the existence of a threshold temperature above which the pair correlations in the system quantified by thermal entanglement decay to zero. We also find a direct correlation between threshold temperature of pair entanglement, with the spin chirality and the minimum of the fidelities related to the electric and magnetic field. The efficiency of the quantum Otto cycle shows a saturation plateau with the increase of the electric field amplitude. [1]H. T. Quan et al., Phys. Rev.E. 76, 031105 (2007). [2]R. Wang et al., Phys.
