Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 11/2 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup hot pepper sauce, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups coarsely crushed corn flakes
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously spray a large baking sheet with sides with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken and 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, combine the flour, garlic salt and black pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well. Combine the beaten eggs and the remaining hot pepper sauce in another shallow dish. Mix well. Combine the corn flakes and melted butter in another large resealable plastic bag. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Remove the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture. Place the chicken in the bag with the corn flake mixture, pressing to coat the chicken.

  4. 4

    Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken over. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife, 8–10 minutes longer.

Grandma's Secret Tip

For a sweet surprise, try warming your favorite jams as fruit dips for the chicken. Raspberry, blackberry or apricot jams work well.

Serving Suggestion

Serving Suggestion

Serve the chicken with carrot and celery sticks and ranch, blue cheese or honey-mustard dressings for dipping.
