Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top of foil. Spray baking rack with non-stick cooking spray.

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season with House Seasoning Blend.

In a shallow dish, whisk egg and milk together.

Combine corn flakes, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne in a shallow bowl.

Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then coat with corn flake mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken (you can do up to this step about 3 hours in advance and keep uncovered in fridge).

Drizzle melted butter over the chicken.

For thin boneless, skinless chicken breast, bake for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Thicker chicken breasts may take 30-45 minutes.

Use a meat thermometer to test that it’s 165 degrees. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Corn Flake Coating Technique 🥣
Crush corn flakes into varied textures - some fine, some coarse - to create a more complex and interesting crunch on your chicken.
Milk Marinade Magic 🥛
Soak chicken in buttermilk or milk with a splash of hot sauce for at least 30 minutes to tenderize the meat and add deeper flavor before breading.
Rack Elevation Trick 🔝
Place chicken on a wire rack over your baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate completely, ensuring an ultra-crispy 360-degree crust.
Seasoning Layer Strategy 🧂
Create a multi-layer seasoning approach by adding spices to both the milk marinade and the corn flake coating for maximum flavor intensity.
Crisp Reheating Hack 🔥
To maintain crispiness when reheating, use an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes instead of a microwave.
