Shake 'N Bake recipe image

This versatile homemade Shake ‘N Bake mix is the secret to restaurant-quality crispy coatings without the artificial additives. By combining fine dry bread crumbs, cornstarch for extra crunch, and a savory blend of poultry seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder, you create a golden, aromatic crust that adheres perfectly to meat. It transforms simple chicken pieces, fish fillets, or pork chops into a hearty, comforting meal with minimal effort. The addition of a touch of sugar balances the saltiness, while the onion and garlic powders provide a deep, savory flavor profile.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine flour, bread crumbs, cornstarch, sugar, bouillon granules, poultry seasoning, paprika, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly distributed and no large clumps remain.
  3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container for storage, or keep in the bowl for immediate use.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) for chicken or pork, or 375°F (190°C) for fish.
  5. Coat chicken pieces lightly with salad oil or melted margarine.
  6. Spoon several tablespoons of the seasoning mix into a paper grocery bag.
  7. Place 2 pieces of chicken at a time into the bag.
  8. Close the bag and shake vigorously until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
  9. Place coated chicken on a shallow, well-greased baking pan or one coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  10. Bake chicken for 20 minutes, then turn pieces over.
  11. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and coating is golden brown.
