This cornflake crumb chicken is baked until the outside is nice and crispy but the meat is juicy and tender. It is a delicious way to get a fried chicken feel without having to get out the grease and fry anything. It is a classic dinner that our family loves.
This one is an oldie but a goody. My mom grew up eating it. I grew up eating it.
Little Dude will probably grow up eating it if he ever decides to like chicken.
This kid of mine is strange!
He will eat pork loin and pork chops, hamburger… but the tiniest bit of chicken will get spit out. He doesn’t even eat chicken in nugget form.
What kid doesn’t like nuggets?
He will try to drink the honey mustard and leave the nuggets!
Not that I really mind that he doesn’t like nuggets, really. It just doesn’t seem right!
Anyway, if you have never had corn flake crumb chicken, the crumbs form a nice crisp crust and the chicken stays moist and delicious. It is baked, so it is easy to make and it is so yummy!
