Recipe Introduction

I cut the recipe in half and used 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves--bake for about 25 min.?

List of Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 skinned chicken breast halves -- (6oz)
8 chicken drumsticks -- (4oz) skinned
1/4 cup honey
2 T Dijon mustard
3/4 teas paprika
1/8 t. garlic powder
1 1/4 finely crushed cornflakes (about 4 cups uncrushed cereal)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Vegetable cooking spray



Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken; set aside. Combine honey and next 3 ingredients in a bowl. Combine cornflakes and pecans in a shallow bowl; stir well. Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture; dredge in cornflake mixture.

3. Place chicken pieces on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until done. Shield chicken with aluminum foil during last 10 minutes to prevent coating from getting too brown. Yield: 8 servings
