How To Make Shake ‘N Bake Crunchy Pretzel Seasoned Coating Mix Recipe

Shake ‘N Bake Crunchy Pretzel Seasoned Coating Mix Recipe Tips

• Use Cooking Spray – Lightly spray the coated chicken with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil before baking to achieve a crispier, golden crust.
• Double-Coat for Extra Crunch – For an even thicker coating, dip the protein back into the egg wash or water and re-coat it with the pretzel mix before baking.
• Add Extra Seasoning – Customize the flavor by sprinkling extra seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs (like thyme or rosemary) onto the coating mix.
• Use Pork or Fish – While great on chicken, this pretzel coating mix also works wonderfully on pork chops or fish fillets, giving them a crunchy texture.
• Try With Vegetables – For a twist, use the pretzel mix to coat vegetables like zucchini, cauliflower, or even sweet potato fries for a crunchy side dish.
• Make a Bigger Batch – You can easily make a larger batch of the seasoning mix and store it in an airtight container for future use.
