It’s only seven-thirty in the morning, but there is chicken already baking in the oven. Now, that’s more like a lunch or dinner item, and most likely will be, but it was the corn flakes for breakfast that inspired the sudden search for an old rolling pin - which was eventually found and put into action.

Years ago, we had dinner at a friend’s house and baked chicken was served. I thought his version was the greatest thing since sliced bread and probably had six or seven pieces. Ben said it was the crunched up corn flakes added to the breadcrumbs that gave it the great taste. It could also have been the pot we smoked all afternoon before dinner that played a role that day, but I am certain the corn flakes were still the secret ingredient.

Thus, I have been using crunched up corn flakes in my baked chicken version ever since; hence the need for that old rolling pin.

As there is no pot handy, however, I will just have to experience the meal clear-headed and maybe only have five pieces.

The timer just dinged.

My breakfast of champions will be coming out of the oven shortly.

And man, does the house smell yummy right now.
