  • Preheat to 350°F.
  • Remove chicken skin, if desired.
  • Lightly oil a baking sheet.

  • season with salt and black pepper.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a large bowl.
  • Combine corn flakes, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then coat with corn flake mixture, patting with fingers to make the crumbs stick (you can do up to this step about 3 hours in advance and keep uncovered in fridge).
  • Arrange the chicken, skin side up, on the greased cookie sheet.

  1. I subbed half the corn flake crumbs with grated parmesan. Our skin thighs worked well for this dish. Great crunch and we really enjoyed it.
     
  2. I added Lawrys seasoning salt to the crumbs, it was the best<br/>chicken we have had in a while. Will do this for company next<br/>week-end.
     
  3. Wonderful recipe. Even my father who doesn't like chicken liked it. I used boneless skinless chicken and it worked well. I think I would use a little garlic powder next time.
     
  4. We made this for dinner last night and my son declared it "best meal ever." It was easy to make with help from the kids. I added a little extra seasonings to the chicken before I dipped it in the egg/milk mixture so I didn't feel that it was bland. Also, to avoid some of the sogginess that others mentioned in the reviews, I cooked the chicken on a cooling rack (sprayed with cooking spray) placed on a cookie sheet so the air could circulate--perfectly crispy on all sides. Will be making this again and again.
     
  5. I'd bought some Trader Joe's organic corn flakes that really tasted bland, so I decided to find other uses for them. This recipe was a great solution! My husband totally didn't trust the 350 degrees for 45 minutes, but the chicken came out moist inside and crispy outside (except the bottom, which did get soggy). I served it with homemade mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, and I also made a little warm marmalade dipping sauce (1/2 cup marmalade, 2 tsp dijon mustard, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp fresh chopped ginger, all combined and warmed to thicken to a syrupy consistency). I'll end up buying the "wrong" box of corn flakes again just so I can keep making this recipe!

  1. My family really liked the crispiness of the coating. I used BLSL chicken breasts and found they ended up dry. Next time, I'll use BLSL thighs and I'm sure they will be plenty moist. The only other thing that I did differently was to use buttermilk instead of sweet milk. Great recipe~ thanks!
