Keto Shake and Bake Recipe Tips
🍖 Use Bone-In Chicken for Juiciness: Bone-in chicken tends to stay juicier and more flavorful, so it’s a great option for this recipe.
🥄 Shake the Coating Well: Make sure to coat the chicken evenly with the keto shake and bake mix. Use a zip-top bag to shake the chicken and ensure full coverage.
🌰 Almond Flour for Crispiness: For extra crunch, make sure your mix is well combined with almond flour and pork rind panko – these give the perfect low-carb crispy texture.
🌿 Add Extra Herbs & Spices: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding extra garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
⏱️ Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your chicken pieces. Be sure to check for an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it’s fully cooked.
🔥 Preheat the Oven: Preheating your oven to 400°F ensures that the chicken gets crispy right from the start.
🧼 Easy Clean-Up: This recipe avoids frying, making cleanup much easier – just a baking sheet and no greasy splatters!
Storing
Store the Keto Shake and Bake mix in an airtight container or jar in a cool, dry place for up to 4 weeks. For cooked chicken, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
