A delightful twist on oven-fried chicken, featuring a crispy cornflake crust and a zesty lemon flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy coating.
Place the crushed cornflakes in a shallow dish.
Crush the cornflakes finely for a more even coating.
In a mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the juice of the lemon, salt, and pepper.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Dip each chicken breast into the butter-lemon mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Let the excess mixture drip off before coating with cornflakes.
Press the chicken into the crushed cornflakes, coating it evenly on all sides.
Press firmly to ensure the cornflakes adhere well.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray, ensuring they are not touching.
Spacing the chicken ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the crispy chicken hot, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
Serving with a fresh lemon wedge enhances the zesty flavor.
