Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the baking sheet
- Chopped chives (optional)
- Dipping sauce of your choice
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil. Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs in a second bowl, and mix crushed cornflakes with paprika and garlic powder in a third bowl.
- Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in flour, shake off excess, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with cornflake mixture. Arrange coated chicken on the baking sheet and lightly spray tops with cooking spray or drizzle with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
