Remember Shake ‘n Bake? I used to love Shake ‘n Bake when I was a kid. My mom made it with wings and drummettes and it was a family favorite! Before we started eating healthy, I fed the same thing to my kids, and they loved it! But once we had to start eating gluten-free, Shake ‘n Bake was a big no no. As soon as Trim Healthy Mama came out with their baking blend, I knew what I wanted to make first – Shake ‘n Bake! So here is a low-carb, much healthier copycat of the boxed stuff. This gluten-free, low carb shake n bake copycat recipe is tasty and easy – and a great way to change up the menu if you're getting tired of your regular chicken recipes!
First you dump all of the ingredients into a gallon-sizedbag:
Then you rinse the chicken (any kind will work, but I really prefer bone-in) and put a few pieces in the bag. Zip it up, shake the chicken, and put it on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken is coated and on the baking sheet.
one whole cut-up chicken, or 2-3 pounds chicken drummettes, wings, or drumsticks
1 cup Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)
If you want to experiment, add 1/2 teaspoon of other favorite seasonings, like garlic powder
4 Tablespoons butter, melted, or coconut oil or olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients in a gallon-sized bag and shake to mix.
Rinse chicken well and add a few pieces at a time to the bag of seasoning mix.
Seal the bag and shake a few pieces at a time until coated.
Place the chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Brush melted butter onto each piece of chicken.
Bake until juices run clear (for wings, it's about 12 minutes each side. Drumsticks take about 20 minutes each side. Keep checking so they don't burn!)
Notes
TIP: Butter is delicious. But in this recipe, if you use too much you will get soggy chicken. I brush a tiny amount on each piece. You could skip the butter (actually, since I'm dairy-free right now I did skip it on my pieces), and while they didn't LOOK as pretty, and seemed like they would be dry and crumbly, they still tasted great! All of that to say, less is more when it comes to the butter. Another option to skip dairy is to lightly spray with olive oil or coconut oil.

P.S. – remember the commercials – “It's shake n' bake, and I helped!”? I say that to my kids every time we pass by the blue boxes in the grocery stores. They are always embarrassed. It's awesome.
P.P.S. – I was asked for the nutrition info for this recipe. Nutrition info is not so easy for me to come up with, because trying to calculate net carbs while using specialty ingredients can be a pain. So here's the nutrition label NOT INCLUDING the THM Baking Blend. Baking Blend is absolutely necessary to this recipe, but it's not available on food calculators, so you need to add 2 grams of fat and 3 grams of carbs per serving to the nutrition facts below. This is the nutrition information for one serving (the recipe feeds six). With less than 3.7 grams of carbs, this is a great THM “S” recipe.
P.S. – My new eBook, 365: One Year of Healthy Meals for Busy Families, is available now! It’s one full year of reusable gluten-free monthly meal plans (it’s undated, so you can start at any time of the year and use each month over and over again), with printable shopping lists, meal idea worksheets, and tons of bonuses.

People can use a variety of flours to replace almond flour, depending on their dietary requirements. Other nut flours such as walnut or macadamia have similar nutritional profiles and are suitable for people following low-carb or keto diets. People can also use flours made from seeds such as sunflower or flaxseed.
The most commonly used flour which is the lowest in carbs is coconut flour. Note: Psyllium has the lowest carbs, however, psyllium is generally not used to bake entire cakes or cookies, it's used in smaller quantities to add bulk, fiber, and elasticity.
Almond flour and coconut flour are the most commonly used for baking, and high fiber additions like lupin flour, chia flour, flaxseed meal, psyllium husk powder, and oat fiber can be added to them to improve the texture and taste of baked foods.
As you can see, almond flour is far higher in fat than coconut flour, making it superior for those following a Ketogenic Diet, or a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet. Coconut flour is far higher in carbohydrates than almond flour.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
Bean flours are another great low-carb alternative. Among the many different kinds of bean flour include chickpea, garbanzo, and fava bean. All of which add protein, fibre, and iron. Sunflower seed and flaxseed meal are among the seed substitutes, and the latter is packed with omega-3 fatty acids.
Rye bread contains 48g of total carbohydrates per 100g, almost identical to wheat breads. The higher fibre content means rye bread has fewer net carbs than regular bread. However, the total is still significant for a low-carb diet. Unfortunately, this means rye bread isn't a particularly keto-friendly option.
How to store carbquik: Keep it in a cool, dark place. It can also be frozen. Advantages: It's designed to replace wheat flour, so will work well if you want to adapt your favorite recipes and make them lower carb.
Still, even without the flour, you can make a rich, thick gravy. Though there are plenty of keto-approved flour replacements (coconut flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, and sunflower seed flour to name a few), none can create quite as creamy a sauce as xanthan gum.
Shake N Bake” it has been marketed as a healthier and less-greasy alternative to frying. It's a flavored bread crumb-style coating for chicken and pork that comes with a baggie for you to shake your meat in order to cover it with the breading mixture.
Fried foods are usually breaded, which can add up to lots of carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and calories, says Kimberlain. Too much fat in your diet can lead to weight gain, she adds, which can worsen type 2 diabetes.
Shake and bake chicken can be a healthier alternative to fried chicken as it is baked instead of being fried. However, the nutritional value will depend on the specific ingredients used in the shake and bake mix and the portion size consumed.
