Last night I tried out a new recipe. I saw it on a tv episode of Eat Street which is on the Cooking Channel. After watching the show I wanted a chicken cone RIGHT AWAY… the problem…. I do not live in Austin, Texas and can’t go get one from the food truck.(

The next best thing is the recipe that the chefs gave to Food and Wine Magazine.

Hot-and-Crunchy Chicken

1 1/2 cups cornflakes
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
1 tablespoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
142 cup milk
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Three 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

DIRECTIONS
Add the cornflakes, almonds, sesame seeds, sugar, red pepper and salt and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large, shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Fill a third shallow bowl with flour. Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them in the eggs, then roll them in the cornflake mixture.

I ended up baking mine in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. The recipe suggested frying but I went for a healthier option. Next time I might add a bit of garlic to the cornflake coating.

Here is a link to the original recipe.

This is definitely a keeper.

PS- I went to Rochester yesterday for the first time. I saw some well known pieces of art and found a new store I love!
Here are a couple of snaps.
