Why make fried chicken when the baked one looks and taste soo incredible good. Definitely a healthier alternative, the chicken remain moist inside and really crispy and crunchy on the outside due to the cornflake crust. You can add various spices to the cornflake mixture like garlic or chili powder or various herbs. It's so easy to prepare it that it would be a shame not to do it at home for whenever you are craving for some. No more guilt involved :)

The best part is that kids love them and this is a good recipe to alternate so they don't get bored. You can replace chicken with turkey breast if you prefer best.
