Reviews
Im going to try this out but do i have heat the over 3 – 12 hours before i put any chicken in the oven. seems like a waste of energy to me 🙂
Delicious! The chicken was so moist & tender! Coating was so tasty! My new ‘go to ‘ recipe for chicken fingers! Yummmmmm!
Excellent!!
This came out great! I used seasoned bread crumbs instead of cornflakes. I baked it on a wire rack, but the bottom was still mushy. It didn’t matter at all because the rest was SO crispy and delicious!
Amazing! I love it. Easy and delicious.
Nice and easy!
It was very tasty, I used six bone-in thighs. With the sliced onions instead of cooking them with the chicken, I used the leftover cornflake topping, toss the onions in the topping right from the marinade and fry them in butter to make “inside out onion rings” They came out great.
I made this chicken for the very first time but I added a little paprika to my chicken and crumbs as well to give it that extra taste. This chicken is so good. This is the most tendor juiciest chicken I’ve ever made. I highly recommend it.
Delicious came out perfectly.enjoy every bit.
We have this several times a year.
Tastes great every time!
