Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place cereal in a plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin or can. Add remaining ingredients to cereal crumbs. Close bag tightly and shake until blended. Whisk together eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Dip chicken pieces in egg-milk mixture. Add a few chicken pieces at a time to crumb mixture and shake to coat evenly. Discard any unused crumb mixture. Place chicken pieces on greased baking sheet so they are not touching. Bake until golden brown with an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 12 to 14 minutes.
*You can substitute chicken thighs, but you will need to remove the skin and bones.
