Homemade Shake and Bake Mix

4 cups dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon minced onion
1 pinch dried basil leaves
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pinch dried oregano

In a large resealable plastic bag combine all ingredients together and mix well. Store in the refrigerator. Use as needed.

For baked chicken:
Preheat oven to 400°.
Pour 1/2 cup mix into a gallon size freezer bag.
Moisten 6 to 8 bone-in pieces or 2 lbs. boneless breast with water.
Put 1 to 2 pieces at a time into the mix and shake to coat.

Place coated chicken onto a baking sheet in center of oven.
Bake bone-in chicken 45 min. or until cooked through.
Bake boneless chicken 20 min. or until cooked through.
Chicken nuggets 13 min. or until cooked through.

Also works well with pork chops, or fish.

Creating the best steak, pork, or chicken

This tip came to me via a friend at work. This little technique will make any cut of meat tender and juicy.

What you will need is:
Bottle of lemon juice
Shaker of unflavored meat tenderizer
Your favorite cut of meat(I love steak)
30 min. to kill

Just shake on the meat tenderizer(both sides), wet with lemon juice(both sides) and stack on a tray or plate in the fridge for 30 min.(no more, no less).

After waiting, cook and season as you like.
Now, that is North Carolina Cooking!!!!!
