CORNFLAKE CRUSTED CHICKEN



Cornflake Crusted Chicken image

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

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Leg Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
½ cup cornflake crumbs
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
¼ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
6 large chicken drumsticks
salt to taste
1 serving no-stick cooking spray

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.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

3 tablespoons buttermilk
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons finely sliced chives
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 to 4 turns freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
1/2 head cabbage, cored and finely sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
3 cups canola oil
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons granulated onion
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 cups cornflakes, crushed
24 ounces chicken tenders (twelve 2-ounce tenders)
12 slider buns, split
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin
1 small red onion, sliced thin

Steps:

  • For the buttermilk slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chives, sugar, salt, pepper and cayenne. Whisk together until fully incorporated. Add the sliced cabbage and toss well. Cover and refrigerate.
  • For the garlic butter: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the parsley, then transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
  • For the chicken sliders: Heat the canola oil in a deep cast-iron skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
  • Combine the buttermilk and Sriracha in a medium mixing bowl and mix well. In another medium bowl, mix together the flour, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt and pepper. Place the cornflakes in a third bowl. Dredge the chicken tenders in the seasoned flour, lightly pressing down on the tenders to give them a more even shape. Remove the chicken from the flour with your left hand and lightly dip them in the Sriracha buttermilk. Shake off excess buttermilk and, with your right hand, roll the tenders in the cornflake crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the tenders until they are completely breaded. Set the breaded tenders on baking sheet as you go.
  • In two batches, fry the tenders until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes. When done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to paper towels to drain.
  • Brush the slider buns on both sides with garlic butter. Toast the buns, buttered-side down, in a large saute pan over medium heat until golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds.
  • To build the sliders, layer the bottom buns with a slice of red onion, a slice of tomato and a chicken tender. Top with buttermilk slaw and cover with the bun top. Arrange the finished sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately.
