In a medium-sized bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, plain breadcrumbs, salt, paprika, dried parsley, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using) until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag for shaking or store in an airtight container for later use.
When ready to use, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for chicken or pork.
Moisten the chicken or pork with water or an egg wash to help the coating stick.
Place a piece of chicken or pork in the resealable bag with the Shake 'N Bake mix. Seal the bag and shake until the meat is evenly coated.
Arrange the coated pieces of meat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is fully cooked and the coating is golden brown and crispy. For chicken, this usually takes about 25-30 minutes. For pork, adjust the time as needed based on size and thickness.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Store any leftover Shake 'N Bake mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
