Homemade Shake 'N Bake
Homemade Shake 'N Bake
This shake and bake mix is made with various seasonings and is used as a coating for baked chicken. Use this mixture like you would the store-bought stuff.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoons cornmeal to add a crunch
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • dash celery seed or 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano 
  • 2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper

NOTE:  It's quicker to just buy your favorite breadcrumb but you could also make your own if you have the extra time.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix everything together in a bowl. If you want it to be finer texture run in through your food processor until fine. 
  2. We like to do 3-4 batches at once and store in an airtight container. 

To use:

  1. add 3-4 pork chops or 3-4 pieces of chicken to a container that you can shake.
  2. Add your mix and shake until your  meat is covered.
  3. Cook in the oven until the meat is cooked through and the outside is crunchy.
