Hot and crispy, this Cornflake Crusted Cajun Popcorn Chicken is baked in the oven and so much better than the deep-fried KFC version. They’re delicious, crunchy…

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, Chopped into 2” cubes, 454g
  • ¼ cup Almond Milk
  • ¾ tsp Lemon Juice or Vinegar
  • 1½ cup Corn Flakes Cereal, about 45g
  • 3 Tbsp Almond Flour, about 15g
  • 1 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning, or use recipe below
  • ½ tsp Salt, avoid if your seasoning already has salt
  • Cooking spray/oil, for greasing
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ⅔ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ⅓ tsp Onion Powder
  • ⅓ tsp Italian Seasoning
  • ⅓ tsp Oregano
  • ⅓ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • ⅓ tsp Black Pepper
  • Pinch of Crushed Red Chili Flakes, Optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Stir together almond milk and lemon juice/vinegar in a large bowl and let sit 10 minutes so the milk can go “sour” and form “buttermilk”.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken, coat well, and let sit for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Place corn flakes in medium-sized shallow bowl and crush with (clean) hands until crumbled.

  5. 5

    Add almond flour, cajun seasoning and salt to cornflakes and mix.

  6. 6

    Remove a piece of chicken from the bowl and dredge in corn flake mixture until coated well. Place on prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Lightly spray with cooking oil and bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. For a crispy bottom, flip for the last 3-5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve with your choice of dips - BBQ Sauce and Ranch are good choices!
