Cornflake-Crusted Baked Chicken
maeagle666 - October 15, 2007 10:18:38 PM PSTWhen we make this chicken, we always use evaporated milk instead of the egg. It is really moist.

Great Substitutions
paffg - October 17, 2007 01:24:14 PM PSTIn one recipe I tried plain salad mustard in place of the egg. In another I used ranch dressing. Both worked great and were yummy.
Hope you like them, also.21 of 22 found this review helpful.
