Ingredients
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pounds Chicken pieces or pork chops
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water or milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Drizzle the vegetable oil over the dry mixture and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated and slightly clumpy.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water (or milk) to create an egg wash.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken or pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it is coated on all sides.
Step 6
Drop the coated meat into the breadcrumb mixture, seal the bowl or bag, and shake until the piece is completely coated.
Step 7
Place the coated meat onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all pieces.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked (165°F for chicken; 145°F for pork, with a 3-minute rest time). Flip the meat halfway through cooking for even browning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Poorman's Shake and Bake!
