Crispy Cornflake Baked Chicken - Mom's Vintage Recipe

This vintage cornflake chicken can be made with bone-in or boneless chicken breast that can be air-fried, baked, or fried instructions that kids and the young at heart love.

Mom's 1960-style recipe: This classic, popular chicken coating was economical to make, using any boneless meat, and the chicken was the least expensive for our family of five.

This step-by-step recipe is super easy to make and a coating you won't soon forget in flavor it's so delicious.

The chicken with crushed cornflakes baked in melted butter is truly a vintage tasty meal!

Mom often used bone-in chicken but boneless for hosting parties or packed-in lunches is much easier to pack, eat, and enjoy
