Corn Flake Chicken

I can't believe in all my years cooking I have never used corn flakes as a breading for chicken.  This was a delicious meal and I will use corn flakes as a coating again.

I pulsed the corn flakes to be fine so it will easily coat the chicken.

 

4 lbs. fresh chicken thighs and drumsticks ( I used thin chicken cutlets)
2 1/2 cups Crushed cornflakes
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. Garlic powder
2 large eggs
1/4 to 1/2 milk
2 T spicy brown mustard
2 T honey
4 T unsalted butter.
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spray pan liberally.

In a large bowl, combine corn flakes and seasonings.  I used small food processor to grind corn flakes to the consistency of bread crumbs

In another bowl place eggs, milk, mustard and honey. Whisk

Place a piece of chicken in the bowl with the egg mixture, toss to coat.  Shake off excess and place in bowl with crushed corn flakes.  Press to adhere and place on sprayed cooking sheet. Repeat until all of chicken is used.

Drizzle with butter and bake 25 to 30 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.

Note:  if using thin chicken cutlets cut back on baking time checking not to over bake.

Enjoy!
