Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of golden honey
  • 2 tablespoons of flavorful Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of light vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of delicate salt
  • 2 1/2 pounds of assorted skinless chicken parts
  • A spritz of cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup of crunchy crushed corn flakes cereal
  • 1/3 cup of finely chopped walnuts
  • Just a hint of salt, around 1/2 teaspoon

Step 1

In a bowl, combine honey, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and salt, mixing until the salt dissolves completely. Submerge the chicken in the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated, then cover the bowl. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for a full day, remembering to turn it over halfway through.

Step 2

Before cooking, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil and greasing the foil with cooking spray.

Step 3

Create a crispy coating by blending corn flake crumbs with chopped walnuts and a touch of salt in a shallow bowl. Take the chicken out of the marinade, discard the excess liquid, and press each piece into the crumb mixture to cover it evenly. Arrange the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, the juices are clear, and the exterior is nicely browned, usually about an hour. To ensure doneness, use an instant-read meat thermometer; it should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
