This oven-fried chicken recipe is just as good as making it the traditional way—but without all the mess and cleanup of deep frying.

Ingredients

8 cups (2 L) cornflake cereal, crushed (2½ cups/600 mL)
¼ cup (60 mL) butter (½ stick), melted
1 cup (250 mL) flour
1½ tbsp (22 mL) Seasoning Salt
¼ cup (60 mL) milk
3 eggs
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces (about 4 lbs./1.8 kg)
Optional Topping: Honey

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Add the cornflakes and the butter to a shallow bowl, mix to combine.
Whisk together the flour and Seasoning Salt in a large mixing bowl. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour and set aside.
Add the milk and eggs to the leftover flour and mix to make a batter. Dip the chicken pieces into the batter then into the cornflakes, one at a time, turning and pressing as needed to evenly coat.
Place the rack on the Brilliance Nonstick Half Sheet Pan and add the breasts and thighs. Bake for 20 minutes.
Add the wings and drumsticks to the rack and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle with honey before serving, if you’d like.
