Monday, October 3rd: Baked Crispy Cornflake Chicken, Rice and Steamed Broccoli

Ingredients:

4 lbs Chicken (I prefer drumsticks or a whole cut chicken)
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 cups crushed Cornflakes, approx. 2/3 of a box (I prefer frosted flakes )
1 cup all purpose flour
Salt and pepper (and/or your favorite poultry seasoning…mine is Johnny’s seasoning)
1 cup whole milk (or 2% milk will work)
4 tbsp Butter, melted
Rice
3 cups Broccoli

Directions:

Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Finely crush Cornflakes in a mixing bowl and set aside. In a separate mixing beat egg and milk. In a third bowl add flour, salt (or Johnny’s) and pepper.
Now take a piece of chicken and dip it first in the milk/egg bath, then flour mixture, back to milk/egg mix and finally press firmly in the cornflakes (evenly on all sides).
Place in single layer, in shallow baking pan and drizzle melted butter over atop the chicken.
Bake for about 1 hour or until chicken is tender, no longer pink and juices run clear (internal temperature of at least 165ºF)
