Another treasure from my dietitian. This chicken is the Wednesday night meal at the hospital. It is really good. Now, go ahead and snirl up your nose and say, "ewww...hospital food" but I'm telling you, folks...my hospital has good food.

CORNFLAKE-FRIED CHICKEN



Cornflake-Fried Chicken image

Cornflakes in the coating means "fried" chicken turns extra-crisp-and stays that way for hours after cooking. Serve with Buttermilk Oat Waffles for an extra-fun chicken dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 pounds skinless chicken thighs and drumsticks (4 each)
8 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Whisk together buttermilk, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add chicken. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pulse cornflakes into coarse crumbs in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl; stir in flour, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and oil.
  • Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Working with a few pieces at a time, dip in eggs, then coat with cornflake mixture, patting to adhere. Place chicken on rack. Drizzle tops with more oil.
  • Bake chicken, rotating sheet once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use fresh chicken breasts or thighs. Frozen chicken can be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
  • Use a large bowl to coat the chicken in the egg wash and cornflake mixture. This will help to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Press the cornflake mixture firmly onto the chicken. This will help to keep the coating in place during cooking.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short period of time (15-20 minutes). This will help to create a crispy coating and juicy chicken.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried cornflake chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is coated in a crispy cornflake coating and baked until golden brown. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
