Ingredients 0/7

¼ cup honey 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 ¼ teaspoons salt cooking spray ½ cup crushed corn flakes cereal

Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that make each bite delightful. The honey nut glaze adds a rich, sticky coating that enhances the tender chicken. It’s easy to prepare and works well for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together honey, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until the salt dissolves. Add the chicken pieces and turn them to make sure they're well coated. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to marinate for about 24 hours, flipping the chicken once halfway through.

Step 2

When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and give it a quick spray of cooking spray. In a shallow bowl, mix the crushed corn flakes with chopped walnuts and a little salt.

Step 3

Take the chicken out of the marinade (discard the marinade) and press each piece into the crumb mixture so it’s nicely coated. Arrange the chicken in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake the chicken for about an hour, until it’s cooked through and golden brown. The juices should run clear, and if you have a meat thermometer, the thickest part should read at least 160°F. Let it rest a few minutes before serving.

Serving Ideas

Serve this dish with steamed rice or roasted vegetables to soak up the sweet glaze. A fresh green salad or lightly sautéed greens will add a nice contrast and keep the meal balanced.

How To Keep It Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the glaze from hardening or becoming too sticky.
