This chicken has the satisfying crust of its fried cousin, but it's baked instead, making it a healthier dinner alternative.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse chicken, and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a large bowl, mix cornflakes with oil, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt.

  3. Working with one piece at a time, dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with seasoned cornflakes, pressing flakes to help them adhere. Transfer coated pieces to a rimmed baking sheet.

  4. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
