I have 3 terribly fussy teenagers and it's a real chore finding something that they all enjoy, let alone eat.

I thought you might be interested in this - especially for those of you who have fussy kids like me!

I took some chicken strips and marinaded them in garlic, cumin, paprika, salt & freshly ground black pepper and a little teriyaki sauce.

I then coated them in some crushed cornflakes and fried them in a little olive oil.

My kids devoured them and told me they were delicious - all three of them said the same - that must be some kind of a record in my house!

you didn't mix the cornflakes with a little egg to make them stick?

You don't even have to fry them. . . corn flake crumbs do very well in the oven.

I 'fry' them in the oven. Drizzle some oil over shnitzel in pan,and it will get crunchy in the oil. You don't need a lot of oil.

By us that kind of chicken is also popular.

No, it didn't need it as the chicken had been marinaded and the sauce was enough for the cornflakes to stick to.

I didn't deep fry them, I just put enough oil to cover the base of the frying pan and it was olive oil. The ones I did for me I did in the oven and they were too dry. I think they would have been too dry for the kids. DH had some of both the fried and the oven-baked ones and definitely said that the fried ones were better.

how finely ground are the cornflakes?

I basically had some left in the cornflake packet and I just twisted the top of the packet and crushed what was inside with my hands. Some bits were finer than others - some were even still whole - I think that's what the kids liked about it!
