Cornflake Crusted Chicken (Baked)

Cornflake crusted chicken is a very simple chicken starter recipe which is sure to be loved by all. Marinated Chicken is coated with cornflakes and baked in this easy recipe.

Usually at the start of a weekend, I try some new recipe. This time I tried this awesome chicken appetizer – Cornflake Crusted Chicken. I had read a Sanjeev Kapoor recipe for the same and followed most of it with some changes to suit our taste. It turned out very good and I am sure I will end up making it often. One thing to remember though is that this chicken tastes best when served hot as the cornflakes loose their crispiness once cold. As long as you keep this in mind, the recipe is a super hit 🙂

The best part about the Cornflake Crusted Chicken recipe is that the chicken is baked and not deep fried. Hence, we avoid the excess oil. So for the health conscious, this is another positive point 🙂
