Preparation Steps
  1. Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In another dish, whisk together eggs and water until smooth to make an egg wash.
  4. In a third dish, mix panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese to prepare the coating.
  5. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in egg wash, and press into breadcrumb mixture.
  6. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Fry each cutlet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the fried cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Drizzle hot honey generously over the warm cutlets.
  10. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
