BBQ Shake and Bake Chicken or Pork Chops

Making your own shake and bake chicken is just as easy as buying the premade version and using that. You can use our recipe for BBQ Shake and Bake found here.  You'll be well on your way to making a great meal without spending a lot of money.  However, you can use store bought shake and bake packages as well.

Ingredients

2 1/2 lb. chicken
1 egg, beaten, or you can use water or milk
1/2 c. Homemade BBQ Shake and Bake seasoning mix or store bought

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.  Lightly oil a heavy baking sheet. You can also line the baking sheet with foil.

Beat one egg with about a tablespoon of water in a bowl.

In a low sided bowl or dish, place about 1/2 cup of your homemade dry BBQ sauce powder.  You can also add the contents in a plastic bag. 

Dip a piece of chicken in the water and allow the excess water to drip off.

Dredge the chicken in the BBQ sauce, making sure to coat all sides. Place the chicken on a heavy baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Bake the chicken for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken tests done. The internal temperature should be at least 165°.  If you are using boneless chicken, the baking time will not be as long.  Check the chicken after 25 minutes, to see if it is done. For pork chops, bake about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 145°.
