Easy 4-Ingredient Corn Flake Chicken Fingers

Main Dishes· Recipes

My Mom used to make these cornflake chicken fingers when I was a kid and I still love them. Crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside, this chicken meal is quick and easy to make.

Since there are only 4 ingredients needed for this recipe, this is a fairly economical meal option. Try this same cornflake mixture on pork chops too!

For a simple dinner, we like to serve these with oven fries (cut up your own and dip in egg for extra crunch or use frozen fries) and raw veggies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken tender strips (if larger pieces are cheaper, you can simply cut them into strips yourself)
  • 2 cups buttermilk (Buttermilk substitute: Pour 2 tbsp vinegar in a measuring cup. Add enough white milk to bring it up to the 2 cup mark. Let sit 5 minutes before using.)
  • 12 oz box cornflakes (You don’t have to use Kelloggs. The store brands work just as well.)
  • 2 eggs

Instructions:

Soak the chicken tenders in the buttermilk for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Pour corn flakes into a large freezer bag. Crush the corn flakes into a fine powder. This is easily done with a rolling pin or a food processor.

Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl. Whisk with a fork.

Coat the chicken tenders in the corn flakes, dip them in the eggs, and then coat in the corn flakes for a second time.

Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy! We like to make a mixture of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. Ranch dip is also good with these.
