If you keep your oil between 320-330 your chicken will not be greasy. Some og you may say this is alot of salt but you are using it as a marinade if you are really worried than use sea salt. This is healthy & flavorful

There are salt subsitutes or you can use a thin eggwash made with buttermilk.

The marinade sounds good. I wonder if you could bake them if you didn't want to fry?

Yes you can, but only use corn flake crumbs, and not cornflakes. Don't forget to spray your pan, or if you want no oil at all, use parchment paper!

This sounds good. If you use Canola oil and drain the chicken real well before eating, it's probably not too fattening, although I'm not sure WW would approve. I posted a similar recipe last week under a thread called "Recipe Site & Good Recipe". It doesn't have added salt and is baked, so might meet the needs of those who want something similar with a little less sinfulness.

A recipe is a recipe a guideline, what you do with it makes it yours. This is what home cooking is all about.
