Overall good & easy weeknight recipe. I didn’t think it was spicy at all... it was actually a little bland for me, so I sprinkled a little Tony Cacheres seasoning on it after I took it out of the oven. I also baked it on a rack on top of the cookie sheet so the bottom would get crispy too!

My husband and I enjoyed this but I did adjust seasoning to use less thyme (half of what was called for) , and I added garlic powder and paprika. I wouldn't want any more of the thyme flavor than what was already In it! It turned out good though because the chicken was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside! I also used less cayenne because hubby doesn't like food too spicy ...

Really good base recipe. We left out the thyme and cayenne (picky kids) and seasoned it with the basics, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. I doubled the recipe and easily fed 7 people - ALL of them proclaimed it was the BEST CHICKEN EVER! Would have given it 5 stars, if I hadn't changed anything.

Really liked this. We typically have to change the seasoning a bit to fit our taste buds so I didn't find it as tasteless as others noted. We used butter flavored cooking spray instead of butter and I had our son crunch up the cornflakes really well so it was more between cornflakes and breadcrumbs than just cornflakes.

This is a staple at our house and we don't even have kids younger than sixteen. I don't flatten the chicken breasts- they stay moister that way. I don't use eggs, I soak the breasts in buttermilk that I add some hot sauce and dried thyme to.

This was not good. It literally tasted like corn flakes on chicken - no taste at all. I could not get anyone to eat them (young or old), not even myself!

Did not like this at all and would not rate this at all kid friendly. The cayenne and thyme gave the chicken a weird flavor pairing. Kids and I dumped the leftovers.

This recipe isn't hot at all from the cayenne pepper. Very distinct flavor. Very crunchy. Hubby and I really enjoyed this. I will definitely make it again!

Cayenne wouldn't work for most kids. I would also leave out the thyme. Cornflakes should adhere better if you put the chicken in the fridge for an hour before baking.
