How to Nail the Perfect Crunch
Achieving this viral, takeaway-style chicken is completely effortless. Here is the ultimate shortcut for your next midweek tea:
- Prep the Base: Coat your chicken breasts in seasoned mayonnaise or thick natural yoghurt. This acts as the perfect glue to hold the coating.
- Get Crushing: Toss a few handfuls of Kelloggs Corn Flakes into a sandwich bag and bash them with a rolling pin until you achieve a coarse crumb.
- Coat and Bake: Roll the wet chicken in the crushed cereal, pressing down firmly so every inch is covered. Place the breasts on a wire rack set over a baking tray and roast in the oven at a high heat of 200°C (Fan 180°C) for 20-25 minutes.
By baking at a high temperature on a wire rack, the hot air circulates perfectly. The corn flakes toast to an absolute golden perfection, locking in the juicy flavour of the chicken whilst delivering a satisfying crunch. Give it a go tonight and revolutionise your dinner routine!
