Answers:
Crunchy Oven-Baked Chicken Toes
Makes 4 servings
1 cup Corn Flakes cereal (any brand)
1 cup Plain bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Allspice (the secret ingredient!)
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
2 Eggs, beaten
1+1/2 pounds Chicken breast tenders (2 packages), cute into
2 inch pieces
1/4 cup Honey mustard (such as Gulden's brand)
1/4 cup Barbecue sauce (any brand)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Make the breading: Pour the corn flakes into a pie pan or other large, shallow dish. Crush the cereal up with your hands. Mix in bread crumbs, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and allspice.
Drizzle the vegetable oil evenly over the breading. Pour the oil slowly. A vegetable oil bottle has a big opening, so 3 tablespoons will pour out quickly! Toss and turn it to mix the oil all through the bread crumbs and crushed-up corn flakes.
Pour the flour into another shallow dish, and the beaten eggs into a third. Turn the chicken in flour, then eggs, and then in the special crunchy breading. Arrange the chicken toes on a nonstick baking sheet. Place the chicken toes in the oven and cook until crisp and brown all over, about 15 minutes.
When the toes come out of the oven, it's time to stir up the sauce for dipping them. Mix together honey mustard and barbecue sauce in a small bowl. Dip your hot chicken toes into your honey mustard barbecue sauce.
