Shake And Bake; no frying needed! I made some chicken leg/thigh quarters this weekend and they were extremely good with this coating; not the first time.
Coating chicken with the mix is the easy part, but cleaning chicken is a big pain in the behind. Patience is definitely a virtue when cleaning chicken. I recommend some cold drinks and music while going through the task of cleaning chicken! Chicken leg and thigh quarters can be purchased from Walmart very cheaply from .57 cents a LB to .80 cents a LB! The brand is "Gold Leaf" (a Tyson sub-brand) and sold in a ten pound bag, perfect for a a coating treatment.
Cleaning can be minimized by purchasing boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Make chicken nuggets easy by roughly cubing those chicken breasts then coating them! Again, Walmart wins with their $1.99 to $2.00 a pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts (everyday!). Chicken legs are pretty simple to skin and coat, reasonably priced and tasty. They look good, too, for any party as an appetizer! Wings are awesome and a big hit for a game day or any party using Shake And Bake.
Pork chops, tenderloins and pork steak are even easier to prep and bake! Zero cleaning involved, though a little simple fat trimming will make them healthier.
I recommend buying the "Value Size Shake And Bake" boxes for any meat because the simple fact is, you can't control the size of any cut of pork, chicken or seafood the way it's packaged. You want your meat & seafood choices covered completely with no bare spots. When you're making a meal like this, it's better to have more and not less with zero surprises ;)
The box instructions say use water to wet the meat before shaking; I use an egg bath. I want the product to stick and egg does the trick.
* There's some talk these days about why you shouldn't clean chicken because of the germs and bacteria being splashed around while running water over the meat. I've been cleaning chicken for 30+ years like this and honestly, I don't know how you can eat chicken that's not clean or skinned. It's just nasty! I make sure I have some bleach spray right there with plenty of paper towels for the counter tops and I wash my hands if I move from that spot to do something else. It's all about careful preparation and constant vigilance.

Ordering:
With inflation running amok with food, fuel and everything else resembling one of those heart monitors; zig, zag, up then down, I really stand on "real time pricing". What is "real time pricing"? It means I'm actually in the store calculating true prices on your order.
That's right, a real human being making it happen for you. Prices you see on Food Run Fix are close estimates and not guaranteed to be absolute because they change every day, so I have to comb the grocery lanes, see what they got, see the prices, pick the products and give you the shout out! Just like if you were shopping yourself. Simply add your items to the cart.
Paying:
Don't pay anything, regardless of what you see in the cart until I send you the actual bill of the real time prices, sales tax and my delivery fee. Lastly, remember that I am working for you! If there is anything you need to change last minute, you have my number (608) 214-8758 and email, rex@foodrunfix.com. No worries ;)
