Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the breading stations with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for whisked eggs and milk, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with spices.
Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet until shimmering, about 3-5 minutes.
Fry breaded cutlets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the hot honey glaze by combining honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a saucepan and heating for 3-5 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze over the cutlets, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
Enjoy the Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets warm with your favorite sides.
