Best Easy Italian Shake And Bake Chicken On Toasted Garlic Buns Recipes

COPYCAT ITALIAN SHAKE AND BAKE

Steps:

• Mix together all of the ingredients very well. I use a food processor or mixer to make sure everything is very well blended.
• Store in a cool place in an airtight container like a 1 quart/litre mason Jar.
• I use one whole chicken, cut in pieces and well trimmed but about 3 lbs of any kind of chicken pieces you like will do. You can, of course make any amount you need.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Simple wet chicken pieces with water, drain well and drop them, one at a time into a plastic bag containing some of the homemade shake 'n bake. I usually start with a half cup of the coating in the bag, which is equivalent to what is in an envelope if you bought it at the supermarket. You can always add a little extra if you need it at the end, but I find this is the best way to maximize the use you get out of a batch.
• Shake the bag and press the coating onto the individual chicken pieces. Place the coated pieces on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Don't crowd the pieces, they will crisp much better if there is space between them.
• At this point you can drizzle a little canola oil or peanut oil over the coated pieces to maximize browning but this step is completely optional. I have an oil spritzer which is ideal for this purpose because you can spritz about 9 or 10 pieces of chicken with only about a tablespoon of oil. This is a method I often use for Oven Fried Chicken too.
• Bake for about 45-55 minutes depending upon the size of the chicken pieces being used. Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be ready in as little as 25 minutes depending on size. I use my meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature is 175-180 degrees F to ensure they are fully cooked.
• Let the chicken pieces rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
