Overrun I agree with you. I think all the food we eat out is what makes us obese. I had 5 kids and I stayed skinny until I was about 43. Then I started gaining when I started eating out more cause the kids were grown. I try very hard to eat at home now.

I was reading your byline I guess it's called. Cochins are incredibly soft. Surely men must be better than chickens in some way.​

Of course they are better in some way... my chickens have yet to shovel the sidewalk!

Then again, they don't complain if they have the same thing for dinner too often, either...

We are a now nation, so that causes many problems for us. I tell people about the first time I ate at a fast food place at 15 years old and they say no way everyone eats out. In reality no they don't I was raised to make every thing from scratch and I still do so. We eat out once a month.

I used to buy it all the time cause my Dh loved it. but when it went from 99 cents a package to over 3 dollars up here, I stopped. I now make my own shake and bake like recipe and I like it more because it has less salt etc...

my dh really likes it when I bake chicken breasts with either real mayo or mustard and covered in crushed corn flakes, or honey corn flakes the inside is juicy and tender and crispy on the outside.

this past summer I had my kids friends show up for a play day unexpectedly and all I had int he fridge was 7 chicken breasts. we had like 8 kids plus my 2 young ones here. so I took the chicken breasts sliced them up into strips and glazed them with the mayo and then rolled them in crushed honey corn flakes and baked them at 350F for 25-35 minutes. they were a huge hit so much so my dh and I got one tiny strip each, lol...

Actually, that is another method I always used to use, but even that has been soggy lately. I really do think it has to be the meat itself.

I use it and its crispy. I buy all the varieties. The best way to cook the meat is with a grate or something underneathe the meat so the fat and juice can go under the meat but the meat is elevated in the pan. Its kinda like me and BBQ sauce. I like my BBQ to be all almost burned and super caramelised, not just like you poured it over and eat. I want the real "baked on" goodness.

you know that is a real possibility. I use a pizza pan, one those large round ones with the tiny holes all over it, and I have a covered pan underneath it to catch the drippings. it prevents it from being soggy.

now if I were to put it in a regular baking dish they would be soggy.

Instead of dpping it in water,try milk. Thats how I used to do and it always turned out crispy. I love Sake & Bake pork chops!
I thought the instructions used to have you dip it in milk... IDK, thats how my mom used to do it.

I got dinner done late tonight and let DH and DS take it into the living room to eat (then I could check out BYC while eating mine

)

For dinner, I defrosted some home raised chicken and coated it with Shake n'Bake. DH went in to eat and soon yelled from the other room 'What kind of coating is this?' I yelled back to tell him 'Shake n'Bake, why?' He replied 'Because it's actually crispy!'

Uh huh... gotta be the bird!
