This CopyCat Shake ‘N Bake Recipe is going to save you some $$’s. Season your pork or chicken with this do it yourself recipe for a fraction of the cost of store bought. My entire family has always enjoyed Shake & Bake chicken and pork. The kids will always come back for seconds. For years before I learned to cook, I would make a recipe using Shake ‘n Bake using the store bought boxes. After I had to get frugal with my shopping, I quit buying the popular bread crumb mixture. Those little boxes add on quite an expense to our family meals. They are just way too expensive for my grocery budget. Occasionally, I will spot a sale and buy a box or two.

Copycat Shake ‘N Bake

Last week, my boys spotted chicken legs while we were grocery shopping and asked when the next time we could have that chicken with the crumbs. I quickly snagged a package of chicken legs for the kiddos and some pork chops for the hubby and I. We have really done well with making our CopyCat Hidden Valley Ranch Mix , Copycat Good Seasons Italian Mix, and also the CopyCat Lipton Onion Mix so, why not attempt to make our own Shake ‘N Bake Recipe?

Just as I had thought…. It was not difficult at all. Plus making our own Shake ‘N Bake was super inexpensive. I made enough to keep handy in the pantry. It will be great to have another mix handy to throw a dinner together on the fly.

This recipe for Shake ‘N Bake was super tasty. The meat had a slight crisp and the flavors were perfect. Just as I suspected… the kiddos were all back for seconds and a couple of them came back for thirds. The hubby and I enjoyed the mix on our pork too. My hub thought it was actually better than the store bought boxed stuff.

    This is a great recipe! My 3 year old grandson is super picky about what he eats. He was actually eating… and then fell asleep at the table.

  2. THANK YOU!
    Shake N Bake is a rip off in my opinion as you have to use BOTH packets in a box for a hole chicken. And they know it. That is one hick of an expensive seasoning!

    I made this a couple of nights ago and it was very good. Even my picky eater bragged about it. I followed the recipe exactly except for one thing. I did not put the oil in with everything else. Instead I coated the chicken pieces with olive oil and then rolled them in the seasoning mixture. It worked out quite well. This as EZ to fix and a delicious way to bake chicken. Thanks!

      That’s what makes perfect sense to me! I couldn’t see storing the crumbs in the airtight bag for a long period of time with oil in them!! Great minds think alike!! :)

  4. Loved this! I don’t know if anyone checks this anymore since it’s an old recipe but do you know how long this is good in the pantry?

    1. I keep mine in the freezer if it has oil in it. It turns ransid if you don’t. Ir just don’t add oil and store until use then dip or rub meat, then dredge in crumb mix.
