Ingredients
Chicken thighs or drumsticks
skin on
Soy sauce
(tamari or coconut aminos for strict gluten-free)
Cornflakes cereal
Instructions
Preheat oven 400 deg F (200 C).
Using either a food processor, or a zip top bag and a rolling pin, crush the cornflakes cereal into crumbs.
With the chicken in a bowl or ziploc bag, add enough soy sauce/tamari to coat the chicken pieces.
Coat each piece of chicken thoroughly in cornflakes crumbs.
Arrange chicken pieces on foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.
For boneless chicken, bake for 25-30 minutes. For bone-in, bake for 40 minutes, or until juices run clear.
Serve immediately.
Notes
If you don't have a rolling pin for crushing the cornflakes in a ziploc, a bottle of wine works great!
To make the chicken pieces crispy on the top AND the bottom, place the chicken on a rack on your baking sheet.
Try adding minced garlic, a few drops of chili oil/sauce, or honey to the soy sauce for some flavor variations!
Calories per serving is based on one chicken piece per person.
