Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground mustard powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, dried oregano, ground mustard powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.
Drizzle vegetable oil over the dry mixture. Use a fork to thoroughly mix in the oil, ensuring the breadcrumb mixture is slightly moistened but not clumpy.
Store the coating in an airtight container or resealable bag if not using immediately. This mixture can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
To use, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, breasts, or tenders) by patting them dry with paper towels.
Add 1-2 pieces of chicken at a time into a resealable bag with 1/4 cup of coating mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful, shake-and-bake chicken!
