  • Season the chicken well. Use a variety of spices to give the chicken flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Coat the chicken in crushed cornflakes. This will give the chicken a crispy coating.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature. This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing is a classic, but you can also try honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ketchup.
