Hi Ryan. I only use 1/2 cup of this mix for about 1 pound of chicken. I store the rest in the cupboard to use at later dates. :) The cornflakes grind up much finer then the panko crumbs are when you purchase them. I would crush the panko crumbs more or put them through the processor and then measure the 4 cups. Also my chicken is always quite damp when I coat mine but you can give it a quick rinse under water to help stick, or like you said, coat it in some whisked eggs first. I never flip mine but I think that the cornflakes stay crispier then the panko would. If you want to keep using panko then I would bake them on an oven-proof cooling wrack set over a baking sheet so that the air can circulate underneath and crisp up the bottom as well. Hope all this helps! I’ve botched up many a simple recipe myself. ;)

I subbed the Cornflakes for Panko and it tasted amazing, although I ran into a couple of hiccups. 4 cups was way too much breading for 3 large breasts with rib meat. I still had two cups (or more) of breading left in the bowl. So I think if you use that substitution you can get away with two cups. Whole Foods was also out of beef boillon cubes so I used “Not-Beef” bouillon, still tasted awesome.Also, not a lot of breadcrumbs stuck on the chicken – enough, of course, but without an adhesive such as egg whites I wonder if I’m doing something wrong. Also, I baked this on a ridged baking pan and the underside was good but had some slightly soggy areas. Should I flip it halfway through?(Trust me to take a simple recipe and botch it).

This recipe has saved me from many a week night dinner disaster! So much better than fake chicken, chicken nuggets!

I found this recipe via Pinterest and made it tonight. It was great! I didn’t have paprika so I added a bit of cayenne pepper instead and it added an amazing little kick. Delicious thanks for posting!

It will stay good for a very long time in the freezer. Not sure how long, but I’m sure you would use it up before it would ever go bad. I store my in my cupboard for a couple months and it stays fine, there’s nothing in there that should go bad very easily. You can use it straight from the freezer as there’s no water content and it shouldn’t stick together. Enjoy! :)

Thanks! Do you know for how long can it be stored in the freezer? and when should I take it out before I plan to use it?

You can store it in ziploc bags or a sealable tupperware container. :)
