Corn Flaked Chicken

🍗 Corn Flake Chicken

Extra crispy baked chicken with a corn flake crust.

IngredientQuantityNotes
Chicken1 lbI am a fan of tenderloins, but breasts would also work.
Corn Flakes2 cup
Unflavoured Yogurt1 cupYogurt keeps the chicken moist and doesn't change the flavour.
Salt1 tspAll seasonings are to taste. I never measure them out.
Pepper1 tsp
Garlic Powder1 tsp
Onion Powder1 tsp
Paprika1 tsp
Cayenne Pepper1 tsp

Steps

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the chicken

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Seasoning the chicken directly will give it more flavour, and doing it before will give it time to soak in.

Smash the corn flakes

How you do this is up to you, but don't smash them too small! You want some texture. I usually put them in a ziplock bag and use a rolling pin.

Coat the chicken

Coat the chicken in the yogurt, then roll it in the corn flakes.

Bake

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. Flipping them halfway through is optional, but I find it helps them cook more evenly.

Enjoy!

Enjoy your crispy chicken!
