Today, I made a simple Copycat BBQ Glazed Shake & Bake. This is so good! I love making pork chops in my air fryer and this recipe really rocks!
So, if you love a great and easy way to season your chicken, pork or potatoes, this is a great easy recipe!
My kids do not like meat unless it’s covered in some sauce or seasoning. And, since protein is important for growing kids, and it keeps them full longer (I have a 15 and 13-year-old, in case you were wondering, and they love to eat, but if you are a mom like me, cleaning the kitchen every 5 minutes is almost impossible, so protein fills them up longer)
So, this week, while I was doing my weekly grocery shopping, I noticed that pork chops were on sale, so I grabbed a package, and then I have had hundreds of requests for homemade BbQ shake and bake since I last posted about the regular shake and bake that everyone loves.
What is So Great About This Copycat BBQ Glazed Shake & Bake?
So, I searched, and I searched for a BBQ recipe, tried them all, and finally I tweaked a few that I liked, as they mostly have the same ingredients, and if you know me in real life, or by reading my blog, I don’t do fancy/special ingredients.
So, I tweaked this recipe, and my kids and I think it’s pretty close to the original (sorry, Kraft).
This is a great spice/seasoning mix to put on chicken or meat; you can season just about anything from this. This recipe will come in handy because it can really dress up anything you are making. Just remember to keep it in an airtight container. You will mostly have these spices already in your cabinet, so you will not need to purchase anything new, which is a great way to save money.
I have always preferred to make homemade seasonings rather than buy them, mostly because my oldest son has a gluten allergy, and so unless I spend hours looking up ingredients and checking the labels, It is not safe to buy. Pick up a bottle or package and read the ingredients. Does anyone know what 1/2 of those ingredients are? This is sad because before he was diagnosed, I seriously never looked at a label.
So, I have been making mine for years, and I recently shared my Homemade Shake and Bake recipe, and everyone went wild for it. I thought I would make a great Budget Group for folks like me that are using more homemade stuff to cut down the expenses.

Remove the cumin, and it is very close to what I knew and loved as a kid in the 70s for BBQ SHAKE ‘N BAKE.

I’m hoping this recipe creates a reasonable replica of Shake ‘n Bake – BBQ Chicken Glaze. It’s the only Shake and Bake I like (well love). It’s availability in stores seems to wane at times, so whenever I see some, I buy. At this moment I have 7 boxes, plus one “in service”.
I’m apprehensive in that so many copycat recipes fall short of the real thing.
I’ll report back. If this recipe is a good replacement it will be FANTASTIC !

I am so happy to find this recipe. I always use the bbq shake and bake but now it cost as much as the meat and I told the family I’m sure there is a better way and bam! Your on it! So delicious. Do you mind if I copy your recipe with a link back to your blog on my Facebook post. I have many many friends I think would appreciate it.. my Facebook is Sherrie sims Turpin if you want to check me out first.

My husband loved this recipe. I thought the chili powder was a little too much. Next time I plan to cut that back to maybe 2 tsp..
Jackie
This is good but not really like the original shake n bake glaze. Maybe too much chili powder?
Lady
This is my ‘go to’ for shake’n bake chicken or pork. Family enjoy it immensely.

Making right now for 2nd time. That’s a compliment of the highest order. Didn’t have lemons the 1st time so I used lemon pepper. Doing the same this time, using 1 tsp adds a little lemon flavor and a nice bit of heat.
Thanks!
