Cornflakes crusted Oven baked / fried chicken

[Jazz]

-Wash Chicken with lime juice or vinegar if you prefer

-Season with dry rub (whatever seasonings you like on your chicken)

-Make a mixture with eggs and mayonnaise (you an add some salt and pepper if you like or other seasoning)

-Beat cornflakes lightly to make smaller but do not beat into dust

- Place chicken with eggs and mayo into ziploc bag and rub until mixture covers chicken

-dip into cornflakes until chicken is fully coated

-Place on a wire rack and bake at 325 for approximately 1 hour (or until chicken is cooked)

Chicken will be nice and crispy outside and moist inside - a very healthy alternative to regular fried chicken

That's my 3 cheese baked mac and cheese beside it - sort of to balance out the healthiness of the chicken

Ahhh. I think mayo must be what I need.

All looks so tasty Jazz but I swear i could tear that beef roast up right now.

Re: Cornflakes crusted Oven baked / fried chicken

Tulip to answer your question about avoiding the chicken drying out... you can either cook very quickly at 500 but that is best for smaller pieces of chicken like wings etc.

cooking quickly at high heat will sear the outside and seal in the moisture... also as you said the mayo adds a layer of protection to avoid the overdrying.

or you can do as I did with the recipe above and cook it at a lower temp for a longer period of time... outside crisps a little slower and the inside cooks evenly and moistly.

A tip for oven frying also is to make sure you use a wire rack to place the food on so it will cook evenly - sometimes when you lay it in a pan the bottom can stick or burn or not get as crisp as the top which is exposed.

Hey jazz,

can you give me an idea how much egg &amp; mayo to use?
Thanks.

[Jazz]

Re: Cornflakes crusted Oven baked / fried chicken

JaDreaming - I used 2 eggs and I didn't really measure the Mayo but I would say approximately 2-3 heaping tablespoons - enough to adequately moisten the chicken all over. It should be proportionate to the amount of chicken you are cooking.
