Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts and patting them dry.
In three separate shallow bowls, whisk together the flour with seasoned salt in one bowl. In another bowl, combine eggs, water, and hot sauce until well mixed. Finally, mix panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese in the last bowl.
Take each chicken breast and first dip it into the flour mixture. Then move it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Lastly, coat it thoroughly with the panko mixture.
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in your chosen light oil until it's heated to around 350°F.
Carefully place each breaded cutlet into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2 – 3 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer your crispy chicken cutlets onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
