Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of kosher salt over the chicken pieces to season them.

2. 2

   Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil, then position a rack on top. Lightly mist the rack with cooking oil.

3. 3

   In a food processor or chopper, pulverize the bran cereal until it reaches a fine consistency.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed cereal with the remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish or a ziplock bag for easy coating.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.

7. 7

   Using a basting brush, apply the mayonnaise-mustard mixture onto the chicken, ensuring even coverage, then dredge the chicken in the crushed cereal mixture.

8. 8

   Arrange the coated chicken on the wire rack and give it a light spray of oil.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked in the center and exhibits a golden brown exterior, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

10. 10

    Finally, lightly spray the tops of the chicken with oil and air fry at 370°F for 22 to 24 minutes. Turn the chicken halfway through the cooking time, spraying the tops again, until the coating is crispy and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
