chicken toes

This is a favorite from Rachel Ray. My kids always want to help and I let them, however I am usually freaking out on the inside as they are handling raw chicken and uncooked eggs. The cleanup after is pretty intense so we don't get sick from all our fun. Here is the recipe on-line.

1 c corn flakes cereal crushed (kids love this part-and cheap cornflakes are ok)

1 c plain bread crumbs

2 T brown sugar

1 t salt

1/2 t black pepper

1/2 t allspice (RR's "secret ingredient")

3 T vegetable oil

1/3 c all purpose flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 lbs chicken cut into 2 inch pieces (I use tenders or breasts)

RR has a sauce for dipping-I have never made it. Maybe someday... they are good plain so no worries.

mix first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle with oil and mix it up well. Create a chicken dipping assembly line- bowl with flour, bowl with egg, bowl with cornflake mixture and proceed to dunk, placing covered chicken on non-stick baking sheet.

Cook at 375 for 15-20 min (depending on the size of your chunks and how nervous you are about uncooked chicken-I usually go for 20 min)
