Cornflake Baked Chicken
I grew up watching my Grandma make this delicious cornflake crusted chicken. I love it because it’s so easy and made with ingredients I usually have on hand. My entire family loves it because it has the crunch of a fried chicken but it’s actually oven-baked
. You can easily make cornflake chicken tenders with this same recipe and even cut the chicken up and roll your smaller pieces to make baked chicken nuggets.

Tips for making cornflake baked chicken (Can easily be adapted to cornflake chicken nuggets):
- Use thawed chicken for this recipe
- I used chicken thighs (they stay a little more tender than breasts) but you can easily use chicken breast, drumsticks, or even cut the chicken breast up and make baked chicken nuggets
- Don’t roll in cornflake until you’re ready to bake. Otherwise, your “fried” cornflake chicken will be a bit soggy.
