Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s prepped and ready to work its magic. ๐ฅ |
| 2 | Start off by giving those potatoes a head start – pierce them with the tines of a fork and pop them in the microwave on HIGH for about 8 minutes until they’re just tender. ๐ฅ |
| 3 | While the potatoes are getting comfy in the microwave, let’s get the chicken ready for its crispy makeover. In a shallow dish, beat the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash, and in another shallow dish, lay out a generous helping of cornflake crumbs, ready to coat our chicken pieces. ๐ณ |
| 4 | Take each piece of chicken and give it a luxurious egg bath, ensuring it’s well-coated, before gently rolling it around in the cornflake crumbs until it’s completely covered. ๐ |
| 5 | Now, prepare your baking sheet by coating it with a generous layer of vegetable cooking spray to prevent any sticking mishaps. Place your beautifully coated chicken on the sheet, giving them just enough space to crisp up evenly. |
| 6 | With the potatoes now perfectly par-cooked, it’s time to give them some company on the baking sheet. Cut them into delightful 1-inch chunks and nestle them alongside the chicken. |
| 7 | To add a burst of flavor to our potatoes, sprinkle them with the fragrant dried sage, ensuring each piece gets a fair share of this savory goodness. |
| 8 | Season both the chicken and potatoes generously with salt and pepper, to taste, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor. ๐ง |
| 9 | Slide your baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the magic happen for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is gloriously golden brown and the potatoes are perfectly tender with a crispy edge. โจ |
| 10 | While the chicken and potatoes are busy baking away, let’s whip up a quick and tangy sauce to take this dish to the next level. In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, honey, and prepared yellow mustard until well combined, creating a sauce that’s sweet, tangy, and utterly irresistible. ๐ฏ |
| 11 | Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve up your crispy chicken and potatoes alongside the delectable sauce for dipping, and get ready to enjoy a meal that’s sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy! ๐ |
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair this dish with a refreshing green salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
