How to make Cornflake Chicken Tenders

Tips from the cook

  • Cut the strips even, so they cook quickly and stay tender.
  • Crush the corn flakes until they are still slightly chunky, so the coating stays crunchy.
  • Keep the heat at medium, as the corn flakes colour quickly.
  • Drain on paper towels before serving.
