How to make Lemon Caesar Chicken Cutlets

Tips from the cook

  • Do not flip the chicken for the first couple of minutes; if it sticks, loosen it gently with a spatula.
  • Marinate overnight if you can, but 1 hour works.
  • Air fry at 190 °C for 7 + 7 minutes or bake at 220 °C for 15 to 20 minutes instead.
