How to Make Homemade Shake And Bake

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a large, freezer-safe zip-top bag. Seal tightly and store in the freezer until ready to use.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  6. Pat your chicken, pork, or veal pieces dry with paper towels. Lightly moisten each piece with water, then shake off any excess.
  7. Add 2-3 pieces of meat to the bag of Shake & Bake mixture. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until the meat is evenly coated.
  8. Arrange the coated meat in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Cooking time will depend on the thickness and type of meat.
  10. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
