Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate chicken in Wish-Bone Italian dressing for one hour.
- Roll the marinated chicken in Kellogg's Corn Flakes crumbs until well coated.
- Bake the chicken at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
- Do not cover the chicken while baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra crunch, consider adding some finely chopped nuts or spices to the corn flakes before coating the chicken. If you don’t have Wish-Bone Italian dressing, a mix of olive oil, vinegar, and Italian herbs can serve as a good substitute. Ensure the chicken is patted dry before marinating for better flavor absorption. For a quicker version, check out Crumb Coated Chicken (Microwave Recipe).
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Max's Chicken alongside a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It pairs wonderfully with Chicken And Rice Terrific for a comforting dinner. Consider drizzling some additional Italian dressing over the salad to enhance the flavors. For a hearty option, serve with mashed potatoes or a creamy pasta dish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chicken in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes to maintain its crispiness. Avoid reheating in the microwave as this may result in a soggy coating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of dressing instead of Italian?
Yes, you can experiment with different dressings like ranch or honey mustard for varied flavors. Just be mindful that the taste will change accordingly. Ensure the dressing is not too thick, as it needs to coat the chicken evenly for the corn flakes to adhere properly.
What can I do if I don’t have corn flakes?
If corn flakes aren't available, crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs can be excellent alternatives. They will provide a similar crunch and texture. You can also try using seasoned breadcrumbs for added flavor, which can turn this dish into a delightful twist on traditional chicken recipes.
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Absolutely! Boneless chicken breasts or thighs will work perfectly. Just adjust the cooking time, as boneless pieces may cook faster than bone-in chicken. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
