Keto Shake ‘N Bake Chicken
My childhood favourite. Shake ‘N Bake chicken growing up was so delicious and easy to make for quick weeknight dinners. Hey, that was in the 90’s, when we didn’t care how much bread/carbs we consumed!
Remember how you didn’t even need an egg for coating? You just shake the chicken in a bag with the pre-seasoned blend and bake!
Talk about easy.
We all know those classic flavours of Shake ‘N Bake breaded and seasoned chicken are so, so deadly good! So why not copy and tweak a few things to make it homemade and more health conscious?
It is actually super easy to change your favourite dish into one that actually doesn’t involve gluten and breadcrumbs.
This will work for pork and veal, too!

How to Bake Keto Breaded Chicken
Once you have your seasoning blend ready to rock, all you have to do is:
- Pour seasoning into a large zippered bag.
- A few at a time, place your chicken drumsticks in the bag, seal the bag, and shake to fully coat the chicken.
- Place all coated drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil.
- Bake at 450 for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through.
The best part about this recipe is the easy clean-up!
Discard the bag after seasoning, and throw the foil out after baking. No need for scrubbing the baking dish after a long day.
Enjoy these mouthwatering, crispy chicken drumsticks while staying on track with a keto or low carb lifestyle! Enjoy.
