Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts
Coating
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wet Mixture
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the chicken perfectly crispy.
- Prepare Cornflake Coating: Crush the cornflakes into coarse crumbs and place them in a bowl. This will create the crunchy exterior for the chicken.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season the coating well.
- Whisk Egg Mixture: Beat the egg with the milk in a separate bowl, which will help the cornflakes stick to the chicken smoothly.
- Coat the Chicken: First, dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip them in the egg and milk mixture, and finally press them into the crushed cornflakes to coat thoroughly.
- Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Notes
- Spray the coated chicken lightly with cooking oil or use a cooking spray for extra crispiness during baking.
- This method also works great with chicken tenders for a quicker cook time.
