Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups rice-corn crispy cereal, (recommended: Crispex)
- 2 1/4 cups broken bagel chips or melba toast
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken pieces (about 6 ounces each) See Cook's Note
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet. Spray the rack generously with cooking spray.
Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, cayenne, paprika, and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly. Whisk the light mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add chicken to mayonnaise and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Place coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray, and bake until the coating crisps and browns and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pieces registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
Cook's note:
We like to cook the chicken on the bone for a real moist and juicy chicken experience. If you can't find bone-in skinless chicken, simply pull off the skin before coating. Chicken breast halves can be quite large. To get a healthy 6 ounce portion, cut the breast pieces crosswise with a heavy knife into pieces about the same size as a chicken thigh.

Very tasty and so easy. I used Italian bread crumbs in place of the bagel/melba toast chips. Worked great. I also used some boneless, skinless breasts I had in the freezer. I cut the breasts into quarters. Yummy! Will most likey make this again and again!

fantastic. crunchy outside, moist inside. I had to chg ingredients because I was missing several. I used chili powder and cumin (1/4 tsp ea instead of cayenne pepper, used 1/2 cup of french vanilla yogurt instead of mayo, 1 1/3 cups rice chex, 1 cup cheerios, 1 cup ritz crackers. This was the best chicken i've ever made. used skinless boneless breasts, cut into 1/3rds, and cooked about 30 min.
