🔪 Chef Cooking Tips to Nail This Dish

  • Crispy, Not Soggy: Pat your chicken dry before dredging to help the coating stick and bake up beautifully.
  • Even Cooking: Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to ensure the heat circulates evenly around the cutlets, giving them that perfect crispy texture.
  • Sauce Game Strong: Toss the cutlets in the sauce right before serving to keep them crispy while soaking in all that zesty goodness.

🍗 A Little History & Fun Facts

Lemon pepper seasoning has roots in Mediterranean cuisine, where citrus and spice blends have long been used to enhance meats and seafood. However, the wet version of this classic comes straight from Atlanta’s wing culture—where butter-drenched lemon pepper wings reign supreme. We’re bringing that same mouthwatering flavor to crispy chicken cutlets!
