Tips and Tricks

To coat the chicken, place the pieces in a resealable plastic bag with the cornflake coating, then shake. Try different flavors of soup mix for variety. For moist chicken, dip pieces in ranch or Italian salad dressing before coating with crumbs. The soup mix has plenty of salt in it, so I omit the seasoned salt. To crush the cornflakes, put them in a ziploc bag and roll with a rolling pin.

Make It Healthier

Omit salt. Use bran flakes in place of cornflakes.
