CHEERIO CHICKEN



Cheerio Chicken image

I did not have any extra bread/ crumbs or corn flakes, but wanted some fried chicken and cheerios sounded like it would work. I crushed them in a plastic bag and rolled a bowl over them. when I made them I used 2 eggs but that seemed to be to much and I had left over egg mix so I only put one on here if that isn't enough I would suggest a little milk to thin it out. when I made my dry cheerio mix I just tossed in spices these are just guesses. feel free to improve and change to your taste. Hope you have fun with it! (by the way It is really lemony but that is how I like my chicken if you don't like the lemon only use half of the lemon for it's juice)
