A crispy and golden coating along with the moist meaty center is what makes fried chicken finger lickin’ good. Though what’s on the inside counts, it’s hard to ignore the fried exterior, which makes the chicken addicting but also quite unhealthy. With the holidays approaching, we know we’re going to get our fair share of yummy and not so lean foods and treats.

What if you’re trying to follow through with last New Year’s resolution by eating healthier? You can still have your crispy golden chicken and eat it too. In fact, if you’re using Sara’s Cornflake Chicken recipe, don’t just have one piece, have two! She coats chicken pieces with crushed corn flakes then bakes them in the oven; there isn’t any frying involved here!

Sara uses chicken breasts to prepare this dish, making it lean and tasty. If you’re worried about the chicken breasts drying out in the oven, there’s no need to worry. On her blog Noodletown, Sara says that her chicken came out “juicy and perfectly cooked”! So you can still get the crunchy and moist texture that frying offers, but you don’t have to worry about dabbing off the grease before you take a big bite of Sara’s Cornflake Chicken.
