Cornflake-Crusted Baked Chicken image

This recipe is from Everday Foods. I just tried it out and it is SOO GOOD & crispy! I was impressed!!!! The recipe calls for bone-in legs and thighs, but I just used 4 breasts each cut into 3 diagonal strips.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious.

Not a fan of the cornflake crust. I think I'll stick to my regular fried chicken recipe.

I was skeptical about the cornflake crust, but it turned out to be really good. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I usually don't like cornflakes, but they were surprisingly good on the chicken.

The cornflake crust was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Followed the recipe and the chicken came out dry. Not sure what went wrong.
