Gram’s Cornflake Chicken

Gram’s Cornflake Chicken from SimplyDeliciousLiving.TV

Not to long ago, my facialist was telling me about how much she loves fried chicken! (And that fried chicken doesn’t love her figure!).

Her lamenting prompted me to think of a family recipe that my Grandmother Mary loved, Cornflake Chicken.

It’s a great recipe where you get all the crunchy goodness and taste without the oil and frying! Here’s also a link to another version of this recipe – Cajon Cornflake Chicken.
