  • Cornflake-Crusted Baked Chicken

    When 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 PST
    In 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.

  • alternative meat

    lking4_fun - October 18, 2007 02:15:43 PM PST
    You can also use thin pork chops (bone in) in place of the chicken. I usually place aluminum foil in the baking pan and spray the foil with Pam to avoid sticking.

  • DISGUISE THE CHICKEN!!!

    advrgv - October 15, 2007 08:11:30 PM PST
    THIS RECIPE IS GOOD AND QUICK AND AN EX(TRA)CELLENT
    WAY OF USING UP THE ENDS OF CEREAL BOXES TO DISGUISE THE CHICKEN AND SAVE A FEW PENNIES.

    ANOTHER WAY TO DISGUISE THE CHICKEN IS TO ROLL IT IN MELTED MARGARINE (OR BUTTER) AND THEN ROLL IT IN CRUSHED POTATOE CHIPS. IT'S ANOTHER MONEY SAVING TIP AND OH SO YUMMY! THE REMAINING SCRAPS ON THE PAN ARE DELICIOUS ON TOP OF BAKED POTATOES. THE RECIPE IS EASY AND QUICK BUT DELICIOUS ENOUGH FOR COMPANY. MY CHILDREN LOVE "CHIPS" FOR DINNER.

    THANKS FOR YOUR RECIPE AND ENJOY!

  • Loved this one, I have made something like it for years. It is a real winner.

    Jo Ann P - October 20, 2007 05:28:10 PM PST
    YOu most difiantly can use BUTTERMILK or even Soy milk as the wet, for the cornflake glue. That would add a little higher sugar level, but it will work ( the SOY Milk) but I always set my chicken in Butter before I coat my chicken, it sofens the fibers of the chicken also.

  • Original Kellogg

    Pirate Paul - October 16, 2007 09:59:02 AM PST
    Linda Lou's mom probably used the original recipe my mom did back then, off the Kellogg's corn flakes cereal box. Still one of my favorite chicken dishes.

  • Miscalculated fat!!

    dfmcminn - May 4, 2008 10:29:09 PM PST
    I know ALOT about nutrition and was immediately suspicious of the high fat content. A fresh skinless chicken thigh (2.7 oz) has 10 grams of fat. A fresh skinless chicken drummy has 2.5 grams of fat. An egg has 5 grams of fat. (So approximately 1.25 grams of egg fat per serving). A tablespoon of olive oil has 14 grams of fat. So 14 divided by 4 servings is 3.5 fat grams per serving. Add all of that up (none of the other ingredients have fat) and you get 10, 2.5, 3.5, 1.25. That total is 17 grams of fat per serving, a serving being a coated drummy and thigh. Still not great but WAY SHY of the 28 they report!!

    To eliminate some fat, use plain fat free yogurt instead of egg, and chicken breast instead of thigh. Keep the drummy and the olive oil. Buttermilk is very low fat and could be used instead of egg. Or use eggbeater or just whites.

    I cannot wait to try this with some of the suggested substitutions!!

  • yummy

    mspiggysluvshak - May 5, 2008 01:10:18 PM PST
    I added a teaspoon of poultry seasoning to the cornflakes and used eggbeaters instead of an egg. still yummy. Next time, I'll sneak in a ranch dressing packet.

    catzrule1979 - October 20, 2007 05:27:26 PM PST
    My mother used to make this for us when we were little. I make it now for my husband....to make it mild for those of us who can't take the heat that is....;) flavor it up with marjorum and thyme. We never use egg, just pour it into a baggie and coat it like Shake and Bake.

    jasneskis - October 15, 2007 05:52:24 AM PST
    What drew me to your recipe today was the cornflake coating which is none allergetic, however the egg is. If you could come up with some way to coat food with potatoe chips, corn flakes, rice crisppies etc without using egg as the glue it would be great.
    Use something other than soye, wheat flower, dairy products, egg in the ingreadiates.

  • amazing, even with other ingredients

    johnnydartmouth - April 30, 2008 07:01:48 PM PST
    i was out of some of the items so I substituted bacon for the chicken, and instead of cornflakes I used crushed up doritos. It turned out great. My wife thought that next time melted cheese would be a good addition.

  • Very Yummy!

    kelly_wolf_2000 - July 17, 2008 02:12:12 PM PST
    If you really want to keep your fat down, try using low-fat yougurt instead of the egg. Keeps the chicken very moist. For a more tangy flavor, mix the yogurt with some lemon juice first!

  • Another White Meat

    beadedpony - May 22, 2008 09:14:38 AM PST
    The coating used on this delicious chicken recipe is also wonderful when used on white fish -- either fried in an iron skillet or baked.

  • A Good thing

    Jan W - May 22, 2008 07:08:38 AM PST
    Martha made a homerun with this recipe. It's easy, simple to make and me, a man did it too so anyone can do it.. I did bake the chicken for 40 min. instead of 30 to make sure it was done. Make sure you use all the cornflake crumbs too, just press them on. The nibbles in the pan are the best part for the clean up. The crunchy coating tastes great with chicken, I will be trying it on porkchops too. Hint, put the cornflakes in a ziplock bag, take most of the air out to crunch up.

  • Try it with pork chops

    Heather S - May 15, 2008 04:07:59 PM PST
    It's incredibly YUMMY, especially with ranch dressing as the binder. Very moist.
    And, I agree, the best part is the yummy crunchies at the bottom of the pan. You get lots when you bake it on a cookie sheet with the meat on a short wire rack.

  • It was great! And easy!

    Amanda B - May 11, 2008 08:59:09 AM PST
    I loved everything about this recipe. I used mayonnaise instead of egg and it really keeps the chicken moist! I also used chicken cutlets instead of the wings. It was very good but cooked less than 10 minutes! Also, if you want to give the chicken more flavor, sprinkle basil and rosemary on top, then bake. Happy cooking!

  • Another Creative Way

    bianca_bianca1981 - May 5, 2008 01:40:02 PM PST
    Instead of using the egg, I stirred down enough Apricot jam to coat the chicken breast then battered it with the cornflakes and cayenne. The sweet and spicy plays with your buds, and it's really great tasting! My boyrfriend constantly asks for an encore!

  • Try Dijon Mustard

    froggiechap - May 5, 2008 01:38:09 PM PST
    I have made this using Dijon Mustard instead of the egg mixture and it gave it a spicier taste.

  • Been making it for years

    givemeabreak - May 5, 2008 01:11:57 PM PST
    I also use rice Krispie's almost any cereal will work.
    Made some last week and have overtime used many different things as the glue....wanted something different so I used home nade tarter sauce....added a nice zing to it.

  • BBQ Style

    haverake - April 30, 2008 06:34:38 PM PST
    My Mother has made this since the 60s! It has always been a favorite. For an even better taste dip the chicken in BBQ sauce mixed with egg and then roll in corn flakes. Mmmmmm! And, like another reader pointed out, my kids love it, especially the bits of crust that stick to the pan. Also try it with other cereals like Wheaties, etc.

  • JUST as Great Tasting......

    A & D - March 20, 2008 05:33:10 AM PST
    Just as Great Tasting, but maybe healthier(?), is to use WATER instead of EGG. Also, for variety -- try Potatoe Buds/Flakes (any brand will do) instead of Corn Flakes! My husband, son, son-in-laws, everyone LOVES it this way. And of course, BAKED Chicken is indeed more healthy than Fried anyday - but it TASTES like fried!!!!
    *NOTE: your can do this with PORK CHOPs, too. Yuuuuuumy.
