Make At Home Shake & Bake
I was in a pinch one night trying to figure out what I was going to do with some pork chops, I was asked to Shake and Bake them but I was out of the store bought product.
What is one to do? the only think I came up with was to make my own mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 1 ½ cup corn meal
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup Mrs. Dash salt free seasoning
- 2 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 3 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until evenly mixed and the bread crumbs are no longer 'clumpy' from the oil.
I have found that it is easier to put some of the mixture in a shallow bowl instead of a Zip bag. I place the meat in the bowl and with my hand lightly press the coating onto the meat, I get a better coverage. Pork Chops
Preheat the oven to 425F. Dump some of the shake n bake mix in a large Ziploc bag. Rinse pork chops in cold running water. Let excess water drain off. Place pork chops 1 at a time in the bowl with the shake n bake. Place on a broiler pan with the bottom lined with aluminum foil.
Chicken
Preheat the oven to 400F. Dump some of the shake n bake mix in a large Ziploc bag. Rinse chicken in cold running water. Let excess water drain off. Place chicken, one piece at a time, in the bag with the shake n bake. Place on a broiler pan with the bottom lined with aluminum foil.
Bone-in chicken - Bake for 45 minutes.
