Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breast halves (about 1/2 lb. each) or whole legs (thigh and drumstick, about 1/2 lb. each)
  • 2 1/2 cups cornflakes
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • about 1/2 tsp salt
  • about 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 large egg whites

Directions:

  1. Remove and discard skin and excess fat from chicken. Rinse chicken and pat the pieces dry.
  2. Place cornflakes in a plastic food bag and crush gently with your hands to make very coarse crumbs.
  3. Add thyme, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to bag; shake to mix.
  4. In a shallow bowl, beat egg whites with a fork until slightly frothy.
  5. Coat chicken pieces with egg white, drain briefly, then put in bag with crumb mixture, 1 piece at a time. Turn bag to coat chicken well.
  6. Arrange chicken pieces slightly apart in a 10- by 15-inch nonstick pan. Lightly mist chicken with cooking oil spray.
  7. Bake chicken in a 425° oven until meat is no longer pink in thickest part (cut to test), about 25 minutes for breasts, about 30 minutes for legs.
  8. Add salt and pepper to taste.
