Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper to create the coating.
  3. In a separate dish, beat the eggs with a splash of water until well combined.
  4. Mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in another dish.
  5. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Fry the cutlets in batches for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Drizzle hot honey over the fried cutlets while warm.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
