A delightful cornflake chicken recipe perfect for fall, featuring a crispy crust and juicy chicken, ideal for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1 cup flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer: For the oven, set it to 400°F (200°C); for air fryer, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Prep your chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Set up your breading station: In one bowl, mix flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; in a second bowl, beat the eggs; in a third bowl, place the crushed cornflakes.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, followed by the eggs, and finally roll in the crushed cornflakes until fully coated.
- Bake the chicken: Place on a lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Air fry the chicken: Arrange in the air fryer basket, spray with oil, and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
Notes
For an extra-crispy finish, double-dip the chicken in the egg and cornflake coating. Experiment with seasonings for flavor variations.
