Easy Shake and Bake Chicken

Recipe Description

This Easy Shake and Bake Chicken is one of my favorites on a busy weeknight, and my kids love it too! Juicy baked chicken covered in delicious spices, and it’s so quick and easy you’ll hardly believe it. And if you want to change up the recipe, you can easily add more or different spices, and experiment with what you like best.

It’s as simple as mixing spices together in a bag, and then throw in pieces of uncooked chicken, and shake until the chicken is well covered. Then grease a pan, toss it in the oven for 40 minutes, flipping the chicken at the 20 minute mark, and that’s it! This dish also goes very well with a nice side dish, like rice or buckwheat.

To make the Easy Shake and Bake Chicken, you need the following ingredients:
