How to Make Baked Cornflake Chicken Strips

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Finely crush 2 cups of cornflakes using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine crushed cornflakes, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of water.
  5. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Roll the egg-dipped chicken strip in the cornflake mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating.
  7. Place the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken strips. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch, honey mustard, BBQ are all great options!).
