Tips
- When coating the chicken in the crushed cornflakes, use your fingers and press down on the chicken to help the cornflakes stick and not fall off.
- Spray each side with light cooking oil spray, such as Frylight, for extra crunchiness and to help the cornflakes stick and not fall off, especially when air frying.
- When coating each piece of chicken in the sauce, make sure to only lightly coat it and not drench it completely, otherwise, the coating can go from being nice and crunchy to soggy.
