- Pat 1 pound chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Add 1 ½ cups buttermilk to the bowl and cover. Refrigerate the buttermilk-soaked chicken for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large shallow dish, add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk together.
- Once the chicken has been in the buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, remove it from the buttermilk bowl, one at a time, and allow any excess buttermilk to drip off.
- Place the chicken onto the flour and breadcrumb platter, and coat the chicken in the breading completely.
- Remove the chicken from the breading and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is golden all around. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. After the first 20 minutes, spray or brush both sides with a little Olive oil.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, coat each piece generously with the hot honey sauce, and enjoy!
