Oven Method

Preheat oven to 400F. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack above. Spray rack with oil.
Crush the bran cereal in a food processor or chopper until fine.
In a mixing bowl combine the crushed cereal with the remaining salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Place in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.
Combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
Using a cooking brush, brush onto chicken then coat chicken with crushed cereal mixture.
Place chicken on wire rack and spray with oil.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through in the center and golden brown on the outside, and reaches an internal temp of 165F.

Air Fryer Fried Chicken Directions:

Spray the tops of the chicken with oil and air fry 370F 22 to 24 minutes, turning the chicken halfway and spraying the top again, until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
