Ingredients:
- 1 broiler-fryer chicken
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cornflake crumbs
Instructions:
-
Mix all crumb ingredients: In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflake crumbs with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of the seasonings.
-
Prepare the chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, pat dry the broiler-fryer chicken using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step ensures a crispier coating.
-
Coat the chicken: Roll the chicken pieces in the seasoned cornflake mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken for maximum crispiness.
-
Arrange on baking sheet: Lightly grease a foil-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
-
Bake to perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and pair it with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
-
Savor the crispy goodness: With its irresistible crunch and burst of flavorful seasonings, this Super Crispy Chicken Bake is sure to become a family favorite. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish never fails to impress. Enjoy every crispy bite!
Notes:
- For added flavor, you can marinate the chicken in buttermilk or your favorite marinade for a few hours before coating it with the seasoned cornflake crumbs.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning blend according to your taste preferences. You can add smoked paprika, onion powder, or dried herbs like thyme or oregano for a unique twist.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, simply substitute the cornflake crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free cereal of your choice.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain the crispy texture.
