Super Easy Crispy Chicken
Super Easy Crispy Chicken
Super Easy Crispy Chicken is not only easy but only requires a few ingredients. Besides chicken, all that is needed is Catalina or Russian salad dressing, chili powder, crushed cornflakes and melted butter. That’s it! The first time I made this recipe, we were in the process of remodeling our kitchen. The only ingredients in the house were the ones needed to make this recipe. Guess what we had for dinner that night!
Odd Cast of Characters
You’re probably wondering how this rather odd cast of characters will turn out, right? Well that’s what I thought when I first read the list of ingredients. I assembled my ingredients, followed the recipe and crossed my fingers. It turned out fantastic. It’s still one of my hubby’s favorite chicken recipes. I found this recipe in one of my many Taste of Home recipe books, some 20 years ago.
Crispy and Sweet
I’m not sure what happens when this chicken bakes, but the corn flakes become crispy while the salad dressing gets sticky and sweet. The two mixed together, results in chicken that is juicy, tender, crispy and slightly sweet. The chili powder added to the salad dressing is subtle enough that you can still taste it but say to yourself, “Hmm, what is that?” If your wondering what to make for dinner tonight, look no further. Give this recipe a try.
