Great Low-carb recipe. Put in less sugar and added a bit more salt. Excellent. I will use this in place of shake n' bake any day.

I got a really terrific deal on chicken quarters at the grocery store ( 10lbs for only $3!!! ) and love to try different recipes when I have a lot of chicken on hand... I didn't have any plain cornflakes, so I used a cup of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal and omitted the sugar since it is already sweetened. To cut down on the number of bowls I used I first crushed my pecans in a heavy duty freezer bag with a meat mallet and then added the cornflakes and crushed them in the same manner. Since I had the drumsticks defrosting in a freezer bag, I just added the egg to the bag and mixed it around. This made clean up soooo easy!!! I baked the chicken on a wire rack placed over a baking pan to make sure all the chicken crisped up evenly and would not get soggy. It smelled so good when baking and the taste was just delicious. I loved the slight sweetness from the cereal and then the crunch of the pecans. We will be keeping this one in our cookbooks forever... Thanks for sharing!!!

Wow! What a lovely meal we had last night. This is really a dish you could serve company. I added more pecans than cornflakes and cut back the sugar to 1 tsp. It was a lovely meal, and one I will be using again and again. So easy to prepare. Thanks RecipeNut for sharing this one!
