Shake n' Bake

Why buy mass produced shake n` bake full of fillers and salt when you can make your own in minutes. Here`s a few suggestions but feel free to play around with flavors and textures.

For all recipes combine ingredients in a large ziploc bag. Dip chicken in 1/2 cup buttermilk then place in bag and shake until coated. Place on baking sheet and bake in a 350F oven until internal temperature is 170F. (see Is It Done? for average cooking times). If you don't want to buy buttermilk or don't have any you can use 1/2cup milk with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Yes it will curdle but thats what it is suppose to do. Works just as well.
