Note

Storage: Store any leftover dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

Variation for Pork: Add 1 tsp of dried sage to the mix for every two cups of total coating mix for a classic pork flavor.

Tip: For extra crispiness, place the baking sheet on the middle rack and flip the meat halfway through the cooking time.

Substitution: If Krusteze is unavailable, you can substitute with dry breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, though the texture may vary slightly.

Safety: Ensure poultry reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) and pork reaches 145ðF (63ðC) before consuming.
