Cornflake Baked Chicken
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup French dressing
1 1/2 cups cornflakes cereal crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the dressing in a shallow dish or bowl for dipping.
Do the same with the breadcrumbs.
Dip the chicken breasts, one at a time, in the dressing,
then in the breadcrumbs to coat.
Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive, canola, or corn oil
1 green onion with green top, chopped
6 chicken breast halves,
or 6 legs and 6 thighs (2-1/2 to 3 pounds)
Mix the Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, salt, dry mustard,
and oregano in a small bowl. Gradually stir in the lemon
juice, followed by the oil and chopped green onions.
Brush the mixture over the chicken pieces. Cover and
