Cornflake "Fried" Chicken

3 lbs (or so) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 cups corn flakes

4 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
[OR
2 tsp chili powder or 1/4 tsp cayenne and 1/4 tsp red pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper]

2 eggs
Dash of milk
Salt and pepper

Olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Crush the corn flakes and seasoning in a bag with a rolling pin. Lightly whisk the egg and milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mist a wire rack with olive oil. Coat the chicken evenly first with the egg mixture then the cornflake mixture. Arrange on the rack and lightly mist with olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour, until juices run clear.

Personal Note: Trash-simple good eats. Yum! I'm making stock with the bones (cue lotsa jokes about boning chicken...now!) as we speak. Can be done with thighs too.
