Cornflake Chicken I Made It

Cornflake Chicken

knoxcop 14 years ago

Had this the other night, with my own changes. Read the recipe and you'll see why. Here's my review left also on the page:

I took the general "gist" of this recipe and made my own inference--since the instruction here was a bit skewed. The overall idea of the recipe is very good.

I had chicken legs to work with, so I melted 2 Tbls butter in an 11x7 Pyrex. Mixed one egg with some half&half as a "wash". Used 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Nature's Seasons salt, and 1 1/2 cups cornflake crumbs. Rolled the chicken in that and baked for 1 1/2 hours at 350. (We like our chicken very well done! You might do only an hour or so...) No turning, no foil covering on the dish.

The chicken legs came out crunchy and delicious. It basically tasted EXACTLY LIKE "Shake & Bake" chicken---but I'm thinking marginally less expensive.

Finally, this is the first time I've ever "changed up" a recipe to make it my own, and then reviewed on it. I believe a recipe should be reviewed on it's own merits. There is another recipe site where this sort of thing is done on a daily basis---changing the recipe almost 100% then making a review based on that. Drives me crazy over there.

With that said, I am giving this recipe a "5" based on ideation and merit of flavors. The other part was my infusion and what I felt the recipe needed to be complete. Enjoy as you will...

This sounds delicious! I've never used "Shake & Bake"...one review said that this recipe tastes just like fried chicken! Do you agree with that...if so, I'm definitely trying this one!

It's very close to "fried" chicken, Lillian---and I'm sure, much healthier, ha!

TNACNDN just came out with a version today, also----I think it's a goodie to add to the lady's group to make comfort foods healthier, too!
