For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the cornflake mixture. If you don't have cornflakes, you can use crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs for the coating. To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts of similar thickness. For a richer flavor, try using a honey lemonade concentrate.
