Baked Cornflakes Chicken Tenders 玉米片烤鸡

This is a simple straightforward dish. But the children love it. It is crunchy and crispy minus the greasy fats. I guess this is one healthier alternative that you don't have to impose on your children. The best thing is that I could just chuck it into the oven and go around doing other chores while waiting.

I did not intend to post this up initially as I believed every home cooks would have shrug their shoulders and say, " Yeah, we already know". How can you not know something so convenient right? So, do forgive me if I rant about this marvelous crust too much.  Nevertheless, it is a good reminder. Enjoy!
