Oven-Fried Chicken with a Corn Flake Crust

This oven-fried cornflake chicken offers all the satisfying crunch of traditional fried poultry without the need for a deep fat fryer. By using crushed cornflakes for the coating, you achieve a remarkably crisp texture that stays firm even after baking in the oven. This high-protein main course is a fantastic alternative for a midweek family dinner, providing a lighter and more nutritious way to enjoy a classic comfort food favourite.

The preparation is simple enough for a busy evening, though you can coat the chicken up to three hours in advance and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to cook. Served hot with seasonal vegetables or at room temperature for a picnic, it provides a lean, satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
