MOO Shake'n'Bake

Ingredients: 
4 cups plain flour (can be wholemeal or a mix of white and wholemeal) 
20 Weetbix (about 4 cups crushed) 
4 tbsp salt 
2 tbsp sugar 
2 tsp garlic powder 
2 tsp onion powder 
3 tbsp paprika 
1/4 cup vegetable oil 

Method:
Whizz Weetbix in food processor until very fine crumbs. Combine with all other dry ingredients. Stir through oil, being sure to mix thoroughly. Store in a sealed container in fridge. This mix will last in fridge indefinitely. 

To use: Dip meat in any liquid (egg, milk, salad dressing – Italian is nice - etc) then in the shake and bake. Put on baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes for boneless chicken or fish strips, an hour for chicken pieces with bones (i.e., drumsticks and thighs, as long as possible for bone-in breasts). 

This mix can also be used to coat steak, rissoles, sausages and fish cakes. To cook these foods after coating, heat a little oil in a frying pan and when hot add food to be cooked. Turn frequently to prevent burning.

Note: You can substitte cracker crumbs or crushed crackers, cornflake crumbs etc for the Weetbix. Or you can use any combination of these things. This is a great way to use up the crumbs left in the bottom of the cereal and biscuit packets. I’ve even used crumbs from BBQ Shapes in the mix.
