How to Make All Purpose Shake And Bake

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Prepare your protein: For chicken, lightly moisten pieces with water, milk, tomato juice, broth, or a beaten egg and milk mixture. For pork, pat dry and lightly spray with cooking oil.
  4. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the shake and bake mixture into a large plastic bag (depending on the size of the food).
  5. Add your moistened chicken (or other protein/vegetable) to the bag, one piece at a time. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange the coated food in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes for chicken (adjust baking time based on thickness), or until golden brown and cooked through. For pork, bake until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. **For Canned Potatoes:** Drain and thoroughly dry small canned potatoes. Roll in shake & bake mixture until evenly coated.
  9. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crispy.
  11. **For Mashed Potato Puffs:** Shape mashed potatoes into 1-inch balls. Add a tablespoon of flour to leftover mashed potatoes for better texture if needed.
  12. Dip potato balls in beaten egg, then roll in the shake & bake mixture.
  13. Place potato balls in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  14. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
