Easy Baked Chicken Breast Using Melted Butter and Cornflakes
Oven-Fried Chicken with a Corn Flake Crust
To reduce the fat, remove the chicken skin before coating.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Rinse and pat dry:
3 1/2 pounds chicken parts
Season with:
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
ground black pepper
Whisk together in a shallow bowl:
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
Combine in a wide, shallow bowl:
2 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Step 1
Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat with the corn flake mixture, patting with your fingers to make the crumbs adhere. The chicken can be prepared to this point up to 3 hours in advance and kept, uncovered, in the refrigerator. Arrange the chicken skin side up on the baking sheet. If you wish, drizzle over the chicken:
Step 2
2 to 3 tablespoons melted butter
Step 3
Bake until the chicken is crisp and golden, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

A basic chicken recipe which is nice when the ingredients in the house are not of plenty! Those who did not like this recipe who need a bit more flavor you could add 3/4 Cup of chopped pecans to the cornflakes, and dip in a mustard/maple/paprika mixture instead of the milk and egg. ..and yes soak chicken overnight in a ziplock bag with buttermilk. ( you can use mock buttermilk). BUT, if you just want to get dinner on the table quick without messing around...this is perfect!

Note: I meant to give this only 2 stars but my finger slipped! So—-It's OK, not great. Easy, healthy, yes, but I'm from the south and I have to say, this ain't even close to the taste of real fried chicken. But if you MUST make this, at least consider the following: use a panko and corn flake combination for tastier crumbs; substitute buttermilk for regular milk and season with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, sweet paprika, and some cayenne for zip. Spray or drizzle chicken with olive oil; bake at 400-425 for 20 minutes till golden brown. Don't over bake as skinless breasts dry out quite easily. I would leave skin on for added taste and don't worry about a few extra calories!

It's not fried chicken. But if you want moist, tender chicken and don't want to stand over a hot stove or the grill, you should try this recipe. I usually mix 1-1/2 t. seasoned salt in with the corn flake crumbs, and sometimes add some garlic powder and some extra fresh-ground pepper, but the main reason I make this is because it is free of wheat and yeast, and my family loves it. You can also change it up by adding the zest of a lemon, s & p, parsley, garlic, and grated parmesan or romano cheese to the corn flake crumbs. I've also done this with Italian seasoning...So don't be a food snob--everything from the Joy of Cooking cookbook is pretty darn good, and if you haven't tried it, don't knock it!

to Ralph from Seatle: the nutritional facts are great - just divid the totals by the serving size which in this case is 4 : example calories for one serving is 395.75 fat is 33g etc.! This recipe is easy and delicious - I found using panko crumbs good too. Also did you make this recipe and if not why just 2 forks for just a comment - not fair!!

Is anyone else dissatisfied with the nutrition information given with many of these recipes? The calorie data for this is clearly for the entire recipe and not for an individual serving. Please Epicurious, pay attention to this important detail.

This recipe was very easy to make and also very very delicious!!! My boyfriend loved it! You can also add your own twist and put whatever seasonings you want in the cornflake coating.... Will definitely make it again :)

These were simple and delicious. Best oven fried chicken recipe I have made. I did add paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and onion to the mix.
-
Made this recipe exactly the way it was written except instead of lightly oiling the pan I used Market Basket Cooking Spray:. Butter Flavored. My husband and 8 1/2 month old son loved it!!!
-
Outstanding! I seasoned the flakes and the egg coating with Essence of Emeril and served with hot sauce and it turned out great
-
Delicious and easy!!! I added Italian seasoning
-
Great healthier alternative to deep frying.

I've been eating this for 40 years. My grandmother used to make it as described. Today, I often remove the skin and utilize the same process. Healthier for sure. Sometime I add more seasoning like garlic powder and paprika to the crumb mixture. One of my family classics. YUM!

This is not cordon bleu -- it is a really easy, fast meal that kids and adults can both eat. The chicken stays very moist (I used boneless chicken thighs). I have grated parmesan cheese into the mixture but only when the kids aren't eating the chicken.
