CORNFLAKE CRUSTED CHICKEN
This is a variation of a recipe I had found. This is my ALL time favorite way to eat baked chicken. I can not say enough good things about this!!! Make sure to use chicken that is NOT frozen for best results. This turns out so nice and crispy. My picky daughter even eats it all up !!! We have even made chicken strips from it instead to make it more kid friendly. I serve it with white pepperd gravy to dip it in on put on top- YUM YUM..... LET ME STRESS AGAIN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO NOT USE FROZEN CHICKEN BREAST- IT WILL MAKE THE CRUST SOGGY ESPECIALLY ON THE BOTTOMS AS EXPEIENCED BY SOME MEMBERS

Steps:
- For the Crispy Cornflake Coating: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 4 cups cornflakes, crushed, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary or thyme. Makes 1 3/4 cups.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Working with a couple of pieces at a time, dip chicken in egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water), and add to the mixture in the bag, shaking and patting to coat. Arrange chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
DOUBLE COATED CHICKEN WITH CORN FLAKES
This recipe is from the back of the Kellogg's box . It is different than other baked chicken because it is dipped in batter and then rolled in cornflake crumbs producing an extremely crunchy chicken. I like to add some garlic powder to the batter and some smoked paprika to the flakes for an extra boost in flavor. I also suggest brining the chicken for four hours in 4 cups of water and a handful of kosher salt and a handful of white sugar. This makes your chicken very moist and flavorful and greatly improves the texture.

Steps:
- Mix together egg and water in a shallow bowl. Combine cornflake crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, Cajun seasoning, chili powder, and paprika in a second shallow bowl.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Season drumsticks on both sides lightly with salt. Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, followed by the cornflake mixture, rolling drumsticks and pressing down to ensure all surfaces are coated.
- Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray and place, sprayed side down, into the air fryer basket. Spray to top of the drumsticks - you may need to put the drumsticks on their side depending on how large they are.
- Air-fry for 10 minutes and carefully turn them over. Lower the temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Check doneness after 5 minutes as drumstick size will determine time.

Steps:
- Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat with the corn flake mixture, patting with your fingers to make the crumbs adhere. The chicken can be prepared to this point up to 3 hours in advance and kept, uncovered, in the refrigerator. Arrange the chicken skin side up on the baking sheet. If you wish, drizzle over the chicken:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter
- Bake until the chicken is crisp and golden, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh chicken breasts or thighs for the best results.
- Make sure the chicken is completely dry before coating it in the cornflake mixture.
- Use a shallow dish to coat the chicken in the cornflake mixture, so that the chicken is evenly coated.
- Gently press the cornflake mixture onto the chicken, so that it adheres well.
- Use a cooking spray to lightly grease the skillet before cooking the chicken, to prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat, so that it cooks evenly and doesn't burn.
- Flip the chicken halfway through cooking, so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Cornflake-coated 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. The cornflake coating adds a crispy and flavorful crust to the chicken, while the chicken itself remains moist and juicy. Serve cornflake-coated chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
