How to Make All Purpose Shake And Bake
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of the shake and bake mixture into a large plastic bag (depending on the size of the food).
- 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.
- Arrange the coated food in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides.
- 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).
- **For Canned Potatoes:** Drain and thoroughly dry small canned potatoes. Roll in shake & bake mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crispy.
- **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.
- Dip potato balls in beaten egg, then roll in the shake & bake mixture.
- Place potato balls in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
