Cornflake Chicken
Description
This recipe coats chicken tenderloins in a mixture of crushed cornflakes seasoned with smoked paprika, onion powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. The chicken is first dipped in a whisked milk and egg wash to allow the crumb coating to stick well. Baking on a foil-lined sheet pan coated with spray helps crisp the coating evenly around the chicken.
The result is tender chicken with a crunchy exterior that is flavored with smoky and slightly sweet notes from the seasoning. The use of cornflakes gives a distinct textured crust without frying. Finishing with chopped parsley adds a fresh contrast and color.
This method produces a baked chicken dish ideal for a practical main course that can be served with sides or used in sandwiches. The cooking time is moderate, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and the coating crisped properly without drying out.
