Baked Crunchy Chicken
As I mentioned in my last post we celebrated our daughter Lisa’s birthday this past weekend. Lisa had requested burgers for her birthday dinner, but I normally make a couple different kinds of meats on these celebrations. That way everyone is happy.
I really love making chicken on such an occasion, since it is quite inexpensive and there is always a new recipe out there waiting for me to make; such as the recipe that I am sharing today.
I had a box of corn flakes crumbs sitting in the pantry from one of the occasions that we had at the house. I was in the pantry getting something and saw the box sitting on the shelf; I decided to take a look at it to see if there were any recipes that looked inspiring.
I found this one for a crunchy coating; I am a big fan for crispy chicken, especially when it comes to baked chicken. The chicken turned out to be tender and juicy in the inside and nice and crunchy on the outside. Corn flake crumbs are always a nice coating when it comes to chicken. I really liked this recipe and found it very easy to make. Plus as I mentioned it’s baked so that makes it even better.
Extra Crunchy Chicken (Source: adapted from Kelloggs.com)
Ingredients:
2 cups corn flake crumbs
1 egg
1 cup beer (the original recipe called for milk)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pounds of chicken legs and thighs
Directions:
1. Place crushed corn flake crumbs in a shallow bowl.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg and beer slightly, add flour, salt, and pepper, mix until smooth. Dip chicken in batter and then coat chicken with the corn flake crumbs. Place the chicken in a shallow baking pan that has been line with aluminum foiled and sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray.
3. Place in a preheated 350 degree F oven. Bake for about an hour or until chicken is tender and juices run clear.
4. Do not cover pan or turn chicken while baking.
Yes, this chicken sure look crunchy…I mean extra crunchy…since I do not have beer I might use milk…thanks for the recipe Dawn.
Hope you are having a wonderful week 😀
This chicken is a dish to look forward too for sure!! Wonderful! Blessings, Catherine
I had no idea that using beer instead of milk made it extra crispy! Thanks for the recipe, looks delicious, there’s something very tantalising about coated chicken…
Those outsides do look super crunchy! What a perfect extra crispy fried chicken!
Wow! It’s nice. I love to enjoy reading new things about culinary and searching here and there that what are the new. Thanks for share.
Extra crunchy means extra delicious to me. The chicken looks fabulous.
this chicken look really good and crunchy of course!
Ooooh- that looks so good! Will have to try it~
Wow that looks amazing. And extra crispy is how we all love our chicken.
Crunchy chicken is one of our family’s favorites and yours looks very tempting.
Great idea to oven bake the chicken instead of frying, so much lighter and healthier.
I just oven baked chicken thighs this evening, breaded, and really turned out great, but for my next oven baked breaded chicken, I will try your recipe. Certainly is crunchy, and super delicious. Thanks for sharing, Dawn!
I wish I could reach in and pick up a piece from the screen! Tempting!
I haven’t had Corn Flake Chicken in ages, Dawn. Oh how I do adore it! I don’t know why I never think to make it. I think it some out crispier than even panko! Thank you so much for sharing, Dawn. I better Pin this so I remember:)
Prepare fast and simple… This is so beautiful and I’m sure it’s all super delicious! Looks so pretty, so good and sounds so awesome!
