The beloved breakfast cereal gives this kids' menu staple a bit of a makeover and takes it to new, crunchy, flavorful heights.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
For Chicken
For Dipping
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a heatproof wire baking rack on top; spray rack lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2
2. In a small bowl or shallow dish, season flour with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; whisk eggs in another shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, mix cornflakes with parsley, garlic, dill, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Step 3
3. Dredge chicken in flour to coat, shaking off excess. Dip into egg and then into cornflake mixture, making sure entire surface is coated. Arrange on prepared baking rack.
Step 4
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once during cooking. Serve with Buttermilk Ranch Sauce for dipping.
If you can't find or don't want to spend the extra money on chicken tenders, simply place a whole chicken breast between two layers of plastic wrap, pound it to an even 1/2-inch thickness, and slice it into strips.

Back to TopI'm laughing and scratching my head at all the "reviews" of this recipe. Why did epicurious post this recipe? Why, for me, of course! I wanted to make cornflake chicken because it sounded good, but don't know me when it comes to cooking. I had no idea where to begin. This was easy and delicious! I made this because my family wanted me to make chicken and waffles.....the recipe for which I also got from this website. Thank you epicurious for posting is simple recipe for me to find. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Ok, so this recipe has been around for a long time. That doesn't mean everyone who sees it has been cooking that long! Just sayin'

Sorry folks, but I agree with cherf from Etna, Wy. I look to Epicurious for challenging, interesting recipes, that's why I quit the other recipe sites. I might make this for my grandkids for lunch, but I wouldn't need a recipe to do it. And, if it's been around for decades, why do we need to revive the recipe?

I use this basic simple recipe, for kids parties, all the time. And it is always a hit. Point of fact I use constarch instead of flour and add a bit of brown mustard and hot sauce to the egg/milk mixture for adults. And.... Note to the snobs: I'm a professional and the corn flakes don't get soggy as quickly when dipped in the dip.

Julia Child doesn't have kids and hug a budget either; i've used cornflakes for years, no one's dead yet; it's a great kid-friendly recipe to serve along with waffles on a Friday night after a long week ;0)

I agree with SoCo. Cornflakes for breading pre-dates panko and it's just as good. I have a box of cornflake crumbs (yes, they still sell them) in my pantry that I cycle with panko when I bread chicken, pork or fish. The Japanese did not invent breading.

If you have never made the recipe, do not review or comment on it. No one cares. A similar recipe has been around for decades-- back when one could buy cornflake crumbs in a box for the purpose of breading---and long before panko came into vogue. Cornflake chicken was just as good then as it is today.

Cornflakes? At least you could have used Panko crumbs.

I like ths recipe it's easy and you can change the spices to whatever is in your pantry. The cornflakes add the crunch that the kids love. I'm always looking for kid friendly recipes that doesn't require frying.

Sorry folks, this one just doesn't make the grade. How you managed to publish a recipe for chicken dipped in cornflakes and ranch dressing defies me. Julia Child is spinning in her grave.
