Steps on how to make crispy honey mustard chicken!

Step 1: Crush your cereal into fine pieces.

You don’t want to crush it so fine that the cereal isn’t crunchy and will become soggy when cooking. Just fine enough that it’s not uncomfortable to eat.

Step 2: Place the honey mustard and salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to combine.

After you make the honey mustard sauce, you will want to dip each chicken breast in the sauce, coating both sides, then directly into the cereal, pressing the cereal bits into the chicken breast.

How to keep your corn flakes from getting soggy:

There is a small secret to keeping your cornflakes from getting soggy on the bottom. Here is how you do it:

  • Place a metal cookie cooling rack on your cookie sheet.
  • Place your chicken tenders on the cookie cooling rack.  This will allow the juices to fall, and your chicken won’t cook in them, making them more crisp and less soggy.
  • Bake as directed. You can rotate them to evenly cook them. Broil for one minute at the end, to ensure extra crispiness.

    We made these for dinner tonight. They were really good, except we had a little problem with the cornflakes being a little bit soggy. We liked them enough that we would like to improve on them and make them better. Do you have any suggestions as to why ours turned out soggy or how to keep this from happening?
