Cracker Barrel Oven Baked Chicken Recipe

My entire family absolutely loves Cracker Barrel’s oven-baked chicken.
This recipe brings together simple ingredients into a dish that's a breeze to make at home.
You’ll be surprised how the cornflakes give a crunch that rivals the restaurant’s version.
Using buttermilk in the marinade ensures the chicken stays moist and flavorful.
