Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets are deliciously crispy chicken pieces drizzled with spicy hot honey for an exciting flavor twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or enough for shallow frying)
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken breast cutlets. If the cutlets are not uniformly thin, place them between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are even in thickness.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the tablespoon of water until smooth.
  4. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese.
  5. Take each chicken cutlet and dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  6. Dip the floured cutlet into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully covered.
  7. Finally, press the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  8. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  9. Carefully add the chicken cutlets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove the cooked cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  11. While the cutlets are still warm, drizzle them generously with hot honey.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your spice tolerance.
  • For extra crunch, feel free to double coat the chicken cutlets by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
