For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of paprika or onion powder to the cereal crumb mixture. If you prefer a thicker coating, you can double-dip the chicken in the egg mixture and cereal crumbs. To prevent the cereal coating from becoming soggy, make sure to serve the chicken immediately after baking. Leftover baked chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
