How to Make Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets
  1. Gently pound chicken cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another dish, beat the large eggs with water.
  4. In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Coat each cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Fry the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side until the golden brown.
  8. Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  9. Drizzle hot honey over warm cutlets, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
