Crunchy Cornflake & Oat Chicken

Crunchy Cornflake & Oat Chicken

Marinate 3 chicken tender/chunks with blended mixture ( 1 clove garlic, some yellow onion, some ginger and 1 bunch of coriander leaf) with 5 crushed grapes and set aside in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Add salt & Pepper if desire . I chose to omit it .

Remove the chicken and coat in plain flour , followed by 1/2 egg ( lightly beaten) ,  cornflake mix (blend 1cup Cornflake , 1/3 cup oat &  1/4 cup pumpkin seeds).

Drizzle some olive oil and bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 min depending on thickness of chicken tender.

This will taste great with yoghurt dip or homemade tomato sauce too ☺

* If you have left over flour,egg and cornflake mix, just mix the a little flour, egg and cornflake mix into a batter and roll into balls and bake it too. No wastage ☺

Cornflakes & Oat Pork Bites

Decided to make something different this weekend so I marinated some pork loin strips in freshly squeezed orange juice to make her own special pork strips . 

Cornflakes & Oat Pork Strips

Ingredients
4 strips of pork loin
1/2 orange (squeeze out the juice)
1/2 egg
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup corn flakes
Black Pepper to taste
Olive oil

Method
Marinated the pork loin stripes in freshly squeezed orange juice and keep it in an air tight container overnight .

Blend the oats and cornflakes till desired size . I like it slightly more fine so that it coats well.

Beat the egg and dip the marinated pork strips in the eggwash and coat it with the cornflakes & Oat mixture .

Pan fry in olive oil or unsalted butter till both sides  is a nice golden brown. Remove from pan.

Mix the remaining egg and cornflakes & Oat mixture and pan fry it to make the crumbs.

Assemble and serve with a dash of black pepper .
