The other night I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner and my kids said they wanted the shake and bake chicken I made last week. Well, I didn't have any shake and bake but I was thinking why can't I make my own version? So here is how I did it! Find more Frugal Chicken Recipes for more ideas.
