Notes
- Brush on mayo, mustard, or buttermilk before coating to help the crumbs stick and add flavor.
- Sprinkle the shake and bake mix over your protein, then gently press it in to help it adhere without wasting extra mix.
- Let the coated meat rest for 5–10 minutes before baking so the coating sets properly.
- Use a wire rack and spray the tops with oil for maximum crispiness and even browning.
