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.
I remember making this with my mom as a little girl. The best part was all the "crumblies" at the bottom of the baking sheet. MMMM yummy!! and it reallly is easy.
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.
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.
Loved this one, I have made something like it for years. It is a real winner.

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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is a great recipe but I found that there was a little too much salt in the seasoning. Try easing back on that and I bet it would be super delicious!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
