CRISPY BAKED 'FRIED' CHICKEN



Crispy Baked 'Fried' Chicken image

Savor Cat Cora's Crispy Baked "Fried" Chicken recipe from Food Network Magazine: Corn flakes make it crispy, while paprika, cayenne and sage give it spice.

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken pieces (preferably 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 wings)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups cornflakes
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground sage
Serving suggestion: Easy Greens, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet.
  • Rinse the chicken in cold water; pat dry. In a wide bowl or on a plate, season the flour with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each chicken piece through the flour so it's fully coated, tap against the bowl to shake off excess flour and set aside. Discard the flour.
  • Here comes the part kids like best: Crush the cornflakes by placing them in a big resealable plastic bag, carefully pressing the bag to push out the air. Seal up the bag (with as little air inside as possible) and run over the flakes with a rolling pin. Open the bag and pour the crushed flakes into a wide bowl or onto a plate.
  • In a large bowl (big enough to dredge the chicken pieces), mix the buttermilk, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika and sage. Give each floured chicken piece a good buttermilk bath and then roll in the cornflake crumbs.
  • Arrange the chicken pieces on the rack and place in the hot oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, lower the heat to 375 degrees and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. The juices should run clear when the meat is pierced with a knife. Serve with Easy Greens.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH A CORN FLAKE CRUST



Oven-Fried Chicken with a Corn Flake Crust image

For Chicken with a Corn Flake Crust, reduce the fat, remove the chicken skin before coating.

Provided by Irma S. Rombauer

Categories     Chicken     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Rinse and pat dry:
3 1/2 pounds chicken parts
Season with:
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
ground black pepper
Whisk together in a shallow bowl:
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Combine in a wide, shallow bowl:
2 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

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. Fresh chicken breasts will cook more evenly and have a better flavor than frozen chicken breasts.
  • Use a good quality cornflake cereal. Not all cornflake cereals are created equal. Choose a cereal that is crispy and has a good flavor.
  • Crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs. This will help the cornflakes adhere to the chicken and create a crispy coating.
  • Use a combination of seasonings. The seasonings in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and has a delicious crispy coating.

Conclusion:

Crispy baked corn flake chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is coated in a crispy cornflake coating that is flavored with a variety of seasonings. The chicken is then baked in the oven until it is golden brown and cooked through. Serve crispy baked corn flake chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
