Ingredients

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the chicken pieces skin side up in a baking dish.

  2. Spoon the whole berry cranberry sauce over the chicken pieces and spread it so each piece is evenly coated.

  3. Sprinkle the cornflake crumbs over the cranberry-coated chicken, pressing lightly so the crumbs stick.

  4. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the coating is golden and crisp.

  5. Check that the thickest part of each piece reads 165°F (74°C) on a thermometer. If not, bake longer, checking every 5 minutes.

  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
