Anyone have a fried chicken recipe using crushed corn flakes for coating chicken?
Question by Jackie Blue: Anyone have a fried chicken recipe using crushed corn flakes for coating chicken?
My sister in law would cook the best fried chicken using crushed corn flakes to coat the chicken. It was fried, not baked, but either recipe would be appreiciate. She passed away a few years ago, and unfortuately I didn’t get the recipe. I believe at one time it was on the box of corn flakes. Thank you for taking time to help me.

You can actually buy already-crushed corn flakes in the grocery store, on the same aisle as flour. You fry it just like you do with floured chicken, but you need to dip the chicken in egg before you coat it; otherwise, the corn flakes won’t stick. Don’t roll the chicken parts in the coating until just before you put it into the skillet or the coating will get soggy.
I taught a friend how to cook fried chicken once. He added cornflakes to what I had told him (just flour and some seasonings). Now, he makes better chicken that I. Basically its just fried chicken with flour, your favorite seasonings and crushed up corn flakes. I never measure, but I would guess about two cups of that to your flour mixture would be enough to fry a whole cut up chicken. The beautiful thing about frying chicken is, you cant really do it wrong. Trying to cook like your sister in law is a nice compliment. You can create some memories like she did. Get busy. Peace be with you.
that is very interesting!
If u get the recipe, can u pls share it with me?
I can cook fried chicken, fried, porkchop, fried shrimp, fried fish, fried vegetables, but only using corn meal, flour, egg, black pepper, salt, water, and oil.
no secrets on it, but tips here: mixing all the seasoning ingredients well before the main ingredients, and cook with hot oil, watch and stay in the kitchen while frying it.
am sorry to hear about your sis-in-law.
