I have never bought the real thing, but we love it. I used it in a casserole that called for coating chicken in Shake n Bake. Loved the flavor. Thanks for the good Idea!

5 Star for a doityourself shake n bake. I have to admit that I kind of throw the stuff into the bag and I may not have had every ingredient - but boy, did it come out tasty!!! The whole family LOVED it! I am keeping this one for sure and will try it on some other meats besides chicken at some point. I did, however, add more paprika though. I had celery salt and added that. Great texture.

My young grandsons love shake n bake chicken stripswhen they come to spend Sat. nights. The seven year old loves to help me in the kitchen. This recipe looks great and he will just love that he gets to measure out all of these spices. I bake the boneless breast strips at 400 for 20 mins...and they just love them. Thanks luvmybge!
