Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in skinless chicken thighs
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Rinse chicken, and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a large bowl, mix cornflakes with oil, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with seasoned cornflakes, pressing flakes to help them adhere. Transfer coated pieces to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
