Ingredients
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal or crushed corn flakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Combine the rice cereal (or crushed corn flakes), Parmesan and ranch salad dressing mix in a large bowl.

Place beaten egg whites in a medium bowl. Dip each chicken thigh in the egg whites and then in the cereal mixture to coat evenly.
