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.
