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.

How to Make Shake and Bake

Homemade Shake ‘n Bake mix tastes way better than the store-bought version!

  1. Whisk all breadcrumb mixture ingredients except oil (recipe below) until well combined.
  2. Mix in oil.
  3. Beat egg and dip chicken into the egg and then the coating.
  4. Bake chicken until crispy and cooked through.
  • Dip the chicken in the coating mix twice for a thicker, crunchier crust.
  • Space out the chicken pieces on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  • Chicken should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Allow chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the juices can recirculate back into the meat.

  • Reheat pieces in the air fryer for the best, crispiest exterior.
  • Freeze cooled chicken for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
