My family and I were tired of eating the same old style of baked chicken, either shake-and-baked or just seasoned. So I got this idea and decided to try it. Needless to say, this is how we bake chicken now and the kids love it. A little sweet but always moist.

I made this last night and cut back on the amounts. The chicken was very moist and did not seem sweet to me at all. All in all a good recipe if you are in a pinch for making something for dinner and you have the ingredients on hand. Read More

I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. I added a bit of onion and garlic powder with a pinch of salt to the Jiffy mix. I also brushed with a bit of butter and baked on a rack so the bottom would be crispy. The chicken was tender and juicy. My family loved the flavor. I will make it again. Read More

This has become a go-to recipe in my house. First time I made it as directed and it needed a bit of savory slicing to balance out the sweetness of the corn muffin. Added extra garlic powder and onion powder and a little more salt and pepper and balanced it out perfectly. Read More

Loved it! (Like scrape the crumbs from the pan good). I didn t change much to the recipe except add some Cajon seasoning salt onion powder and garlic powder. It was baked in the oven per instructions but on a wire rack. Also I make sure to always rest chicken after coating until coating is slightly moist so it adheres to the chicken better. I did overnight but works after an hour or two. I must admit I love Jiffy s cornbread so I may be slightly biased. Read More
