Ingredients
- 2 cups Cornflakes Cereal crushed
- 1½ teaspoons onion powder
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds chicken thighs
- ½ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place Cornflakes in a large freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into smaller pieces. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bag and shake to combine. Pour the seasoned, crushed Cornflakes into a shallow bowl and set to the side.
- Pour the melted butter into another shallow bowl or dish. Dip each chicken thigh into the melted butter, making sure that both sides are covered. Then, roll the buttered chicken thigh in the cornflake mixture, pressing the cornflakes onto the entire piece of chicken.
- Place the crusted chicken into a 9" x 13" baking dish or baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
- Bake the chicken in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees F.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the chicken to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
