Instructions

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder to create the sauce. Set aside.
Crush pretzels using a food processor or zip-lock bag until you achieve coarse crumbs.
Prepare a breading station with shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with pretzel crumbs mixed with spices.
Slice chicken breasts into cutlets and dredge each in flour, egg, and finally coat thoroughly in the pretzel mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat until hot. Fry cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve hot, garnished with flaky sea salt and fresh chives alongside the honey mustard sauce.
