Cooking Tips

• For extra crispy chicken, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it in the egg mixture and Chex cereal mixture again.
• If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Chex cereal by placing it in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan to crush it.
• To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free Chex cereal and ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Chex oven fried chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
