- You can mix the egg with a splash of milk to give it more texture

- If you don't have a grinder you can put the cornflakes in a zip-top bag or with a knot and crush with a rolling pin or a glass
- It is important not to place the chicken fingers on top of each other so that they cook well: either do it in batches or use a rack to put several higher ones
- I recommend that you turn it over 2 minutes before finishing so that it browns on both sides.
