If you need a recipe that copies Shake'n Bake in a pinch? Or maybe you don't feel like coughing up the dough for the real thing. Here's the Top Secret Recipe that will give you the same texture and flavor of Kraft Shake'n Bake using very common ingredients. You may notice the color is a bit different when compared to the real thing. That's because this recipe doesn't include beet powder -- a hard-to-find ingredient that lends a dark orange tint to the original. But sink your teeth into the chicken (baked the same way as described on the Shake'n Bake box) and you'll swear it's the same stuff.

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.

2. Prepare chicken following the same technique as described on the box of the original mix using 2½ lb. of bone-in chicken (6 to 8 pieces, with or without skin) or 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast halves Preheat your oven to 400ø, then moisten the chicken with water. Use a large plastic bag for the coating and use the same steps as described on the original package:

3. "Shake moistened chicken, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, in shaker bag with coating mixture. Discard any remaining mixture and bag. Bake at 400ø in ungreased or foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan until cooked through -- BONE-IN: 45 minutes/BONELESS: 20 minutes" ...I was surfin' the net and look what I found...!
