  1. My college roommate used to make this all the time, excluding the vinegar. I haven't tried it with the vinegar yet. When I make it I put some butter in the pan for the flavor and so the chicken doesn't stick. I don't have a problem with the corn flakes sticking, probably because my honey isn't thinned out. I also don't drizzle honey on top of the flakes so they stay crunchy. I found cutting the chicken into smaller pieces coated better as one of the other reviews stated. This is one of my favorites.
     
  2. This is certainly easy. However I encountered a few problems - firstly the cornflakes did not adhere properly. Secondly, I think the dish turned out a little too sweet (commercial plain cornflakes has lots of sugar). I would cut back on the honey next time. I didn't drizzle the leftover mixture over chicken, instead I drizzled a few tsp of olve oil before baking (my baking time was 20mins only; any longer the chicken would have been dry). I made a simple reduction sauce with the leftover marinade by adding some chicken stock and garlic. Thanks for the quick dinner!
     
  3. this was a simple and easy dish but I too had trouble getting the cornflakes to stick. Drizzling the leftover honey mixture left dark stains on the the breading. I love honey and balsamic vinegar but I think the honey overpowered it. If I could get the breading to stick better I think I would cut back on the honey.
     
  4. I wasn't too impressed with this for some reason. The corn flake crumbs didn't want to stick to the chicken so I might give it another try with a different breading mixture. I did enjoy the taste, but I may want to try adding more honey and less vinegar next time.
     
  5. This was a super easy and tasty recipe! I sliced my chicken breasts into smaller pieces so they would have more coating, and everyone in the family really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  1. The flavours in this chicken dish are great, I used chicken thighs in place of the breasts. Very tasty, thanks for sharing.
     
  2. WOW - this was great. I didn't have corn flakes so I used Crispix cereal instead. It had a great, unique taste with a little crunch. I also used chicken breast tenders. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for the great recipe!
