Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the breading stations by setting up three shallow bowls with flour, whisked eggs mixed with a splash of milk, and panko breadcrumbs combined with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Bread the chicken cutlets by dredging each in flour, dipping into the egg mixture, and finally coating with the panko mixture.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Fry the chicken cutlets in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Drain the cutlets on paper towels after frying.
  6. Make the hot honey sauce by combining honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat.
  7. Serve the chicken cutlets drizzled with the hot honey sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
