Old-Fashioned Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs Baked Chicken

The Story

After the massive success of Corn Flakes as a breakfast cereal, Kellogg's began marketing the 'crumbs' specifically as a breading agent for dinner. This recipe was the flagship of their 'Corn-Crisped Chicken' campaign in the 1950s, promoting a healthier baked alternative to fried chicken that maintained a distinct crunch.
