Fried chicken is my weakness, but I don’t always want to break out a fryer. This baked "fried" chicken is the perfect easy weeknight dinner recipe to satisfy that craving!

I love this baked "fried" chicken recipe because it is such a perfect easy weeknight dinner recipe and can be whipped up in just a bit over 30 minutes.

Start with your chicken fillets, an eggwash and your cornflake mixture.

Dredge in the egg mixture.

And then the cornflakes.

And then place them on a cookie sheet with a nonstick silicone liner on it (we love Silpat) and a baking rack on top of that. This really helps the chicken stay crispy on all sides and the silicone sheet makes cleanup a breeze.

Then it’s off to a screaming hot oven for 25 minutes. Drizzle them with a bit of honey in the last five minutes and you are ready for dinner.

Perfect juicy chicken inside with a delicious crunchy sweet outside.

In terms of side dishes for this dinner, we love fixing whipped potatoes and a nice veggie side dish with it. It makes a fantastic packable picnic lunch too!

Try this awesome whipped cauliflower recipe and this healthy crunchy broccoli salad for a powerhouse of flavors while keeping it healthier too.
