How to make Corn Flake Baked Chicken
Tips from the cook
- Crush the corn flakes to normal-sized crumbs, not dust, so the crust stays crunchy.
- Press the crumbs on firmly, so they stay on the chicken.
- Line the tray with baking paper, so the coating does not stick.
- Choose tenderloins of similar size, so they bake at the same pace.
