    This dinner is sooo easy & my favorite when I’m too lazy to actually “cook” lol. I don’t measure so everything is just an estimate.

    You can marinade your chicken in buttermilk, pickle or pepperoncini juice + egg, or egg + mayo. Use a ranch or taco seasoning packet for seasonings. You can also use panko instead of cornflakes, or do a combination of the two. I did that a few months ago with [chicken nuggets](https://i.imgur.com/kFM9QCe.png). You could always used crushed cheese crackers too.

    I usually do 50/50 buttermilk and pepperoncini juice. I like the taste of the pickle/pepper juice & go through a jar a week so I always have it on hand lol.

    **Ingredients**

    *Chicken*

    * 2lbs chicken breast or tenders
    * 1 cup buttermilk (or you can use pickle juice)
    * Few dashes of your favorite hot sauce, 2-3 tbsps
    * Squeeze of yellow mustard

    *Breading*

    * ~2.5 cups crushed corn flakes
    * 2 tbsps AP flour
    * 2 tbsps grated parmesan cheese (green bottle stuff)
    * 1 tbsp of each seasoning – Garlic powder, dried chives, dried parsley, fresh black pepper, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle chile powder.
    * 1 tsp of each seasoning – kosher salt, dried dill, & cayenne pepper
    * Cooking oil, I used olive oil. (Preferably in a sprayer)*

    **Instructions**

    1. If using chicken breast, pound until same thickness. Cut into 2-3 strips, depending how big your breasts are.
    2. In a large bowl or ziploc bag, add marinade ingredients. Let sit in fridge for 2-12 hours.
    3. Add cornflakes, flour, parmesan, and seasonings to a bowl. Stir everything together and give a taste, should be very seasoned.
    4. One piece of chicken at a time, lay chicken into seasoned cornflakes and press firmly on both sides. Do not leave any wet spots. Sprinkle cornflakes into wet spots and press if necessary. Place breaded chicken on a cookie sheet lined with parchment sprayed with oil. Repeat until all chicken is breaded. Spray (or brush*) the top of the chicken with olive oil.
    5. 425F oven for 15-25 mins. Until crispy and golden*

    *I do not flip my chicken. If you find your chicken not to be crisping on top because it might of gotten too saturated with oil, I would flip it once. That’s why I recommend purchasing cooking oil spray (not Pam lol) or buying a sprayer online and putting your fav oil in.
