Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 chicken legs

Homemade Shake and Bake Coating

  • 1 227 g panko bread crumbs finely crushed
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp celery salt
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp basil dried
  • 1/2 tsp oregano dried
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp thyme dried
  • 2 tbsp canola oil cold pressed

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients into a large plastic bag that seals. Seal the bag and shake the ingredients until combined.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 400 °F. Place 1 cup of the shake and bake mixture in a large sealing plastic bag. Place the chicken legs, two at a time, in the bag and shake until coated in the mixture. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat until all legs are prepped.
  3. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken legs reach a temperature of 185 °F. Remove, cool slightly and serve. 

Notes

  • Remember what I always tell you when it comes to cooking dark chicken meat: 165 degrees is for SAFETY but that isn't what the meat is best cooked to for texture and enjoyment. Cook chicken dark meat to at least 185 °F to break down the fat and fibers, trust me and all the chefs that I know, this is the secret!
