Cajun chicken with pineapple salsa
Ingredients
CHICKEN
- 8 chicken pieces (on the bone)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 200g cornflakes
- 100g cake flour, seasoned
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 60ml (¼ cup) sunflower oil
SALSA
- 1 pineapple, peeled, core removed (and discarded) and diced
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
- ½ red onion, peeled and finely chopped
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Season the chicken pieces. Place the cornflakes in a food processor and blend to a fine crumb. Dust a chicken piece with the flour, dip into the egg and, finally, coat in the cornflake crumbs. Place on a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Drizzle over the oil and bake in the oven until cooked through, 45 minutes.
