Cornflake Chicken Nuggets

If you have ever wished that your chicken nuggets would have more of a crunch, then this is the perfect chicken recipe for you! These extra crunchy chicken nuggets are made by crushing and seasoning cornflakes and then using them in place of traditional breading to coat your chicken pieces. Season the cornflakes simply with salt and pepper, as listed in the recipe, or add some Italian seasoning or chili powder for some extra flavor. Try serving these nuggets with marinara or just eat them plain-they will taste great either way!

Tips

-If you would rather have a full chicken breast instead of nuggets, simply skip the step when your slice the chicken and dip the entire breast into the eggs and cornflakes.
-Add some hot sauce to the egg mixture for a spicy version of these nuggets.
-These freeze well! After baking, store in an airtight container and freeze. Microwave for about 1 minute when you are ready to eat them
