Ingredients To Make Shake & Bake
Seasoned Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs are the foundation for a good shake-and-bake recipe. A little bit of cornmeal adds flavor and keeps the coating extra crispy.
Seasoning: The secret to this coating is in the seasonings. I use a blend I always have on hand but feel free to swap it up with your favorites.
Chicken: Any chicken pieces work perfectly with Shake ‘n Bake! Breasts, legs, thighs, chicken tenders, and especially drumsticks will come out flavorful and juicy with a classic crunch.
