Notes
- An easy way to crush your cornflakes is to place them in a large, Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin (or a wine bottle in a pinch).
- You can also replace the cornflakes with panko bread crumbs for a similar effect.
- Wet your hands with cold water before forming your patties. It will help keep the chicken from sticking to them!
