If you’re looking for a kid-approved twist using chicken tenders, enter this cornflake-crusted chicken recipe. Perfectly sliced chicken is coated in a blend of crispy cornflake crumbs, and seasoned just right for the extra pop of flavor. The golden-brown exterior showcases the distinct texture of those crunchy cornflakes. These tenders aren’t just a meal; they’re an adventure on a plate.
Here’s the key to victory: Make sure your tenders are evenly coated. Dip them in the seasoned flour, then the egg, and finally, the cornflakes. A gentle spray of cooking oil before baking helps achieve extra crispiness.
Got leftovers? Store these tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat them again, simply reheat them in the oven to restore that crunch.
