CORNFLAKE-CRUSTED BAKED CHICKEN



CORNFLAKE-CRUSTED BAKED CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Healthy

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bone-in, skinless chicken drumsticks
4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg
2 cups crushed cornflakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Rinse chicken, and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. 2. In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a large bowl, mix cornflakes with oil, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt. 3. Working with one piece at a time, dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with seasoned cornflakes, pressing flakes to help them adhere. Transfer coated pieces to a rimmed baking sheet. 4. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken breasts: Fresh chicken breasts will give you the best results. If you're using frozen chicken breasts, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Use cornflakes that are not too sweet: You want the cornflakes to add a crunchy texture to the chicken, not a sweet flavor. If you're using a sweetened cereal, be sure to rinse it off before using it.
  • Use a large baking dish: You want the chicken to be in a single layer in the baking dish so that it cooks evenly. If you're using a small baking dish, the chicken will be crowded and won't cook properly.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the chicken to cook quickly and evenly. If you bake the chicken at a low temperature, it will take longer to cook and it may not get crispy.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Baked cornflake chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you let it sit for too long, it will start to lose its crispiness.

Conclusion:

Baked cornflake chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
