Cheap Shake N Bake

Today I'm posting the recipe I recently came up with for a homemade "Shake 'N Bake" chicken coating. I was inspired by a recipe found in "The Tightwad Gazette" but, have changed it sufficiently, that I feel I can claim it as my own.

• 1 cup homemade bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup unbleached flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup wheat germ (can be left out to be even cheaper)
  
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 T paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 2 T vegetable oil

Mix well. Use just like you would "Shake 'N Bake". Store indefinitely in the refrigerator in a covered container.

This version is a whole lot cheaper than the store-bought variety.
