Number Of Ingredients 14

For the crunchy cornflake coating:
6 cups cornflakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the chicken:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 ½-2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
For the hot honey:
½ cup honey
2-3 teaspoons hot sauce (i like cholula)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the cornflakes to the bowl of the food processor and pulse until they reach a fine crumb similar to breadcrumbs. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and whisk in the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.
  • Line a large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab each chicken thigh and toss generously into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Generously spray the tops of the chicken thighs with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and temp reaches 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer.
  • Right before serving, make the quick hot honey: add honey and hot sauce to a small bowl, microwave for 10-15 seconds. Taste and add more hot sauce to adjust to your liking. Drizzle honey over the chicken before serving or use it as a dip for the chicken.

Tips:

  • Use gluten-free cornflakes. If you don't have gluten-free cornflakes, you can make your own by crushing regular cornflakes in a food processor until they're fine crumbs.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve with your favorite sides. Cornflake-crusted baked chicken is great with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Cornflake-crusted baked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
