Ingredients
- 12 chicken thighs wash
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 vegetable cooking spray
- 1 dip the chicken in the egg mixture
- 2 cups corn flakes (crushed)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup wheat flour (whole)
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted diced)
- some salt and pepper
Serves: 6 Instead of using a rich egg or cream batter, the chicken in this recipe is dipped in whole wheat flour, buttermilk-egg batter, and then unsweetened cereal crumbs to make a wonderfully crispy hot baked chicken, or cold picnic chicken.
Variations: A whole chicken, cut-up, or even chicken breasts alone can be substituted for the chicken thighs.
Whole-grain bread crumbs can be substituted for cereal crumbs.
Cooking Note: Cereal crumbs can easily be prepared in a food processor or blender.
