  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed cornflakes
  • 4 to 6 tsp dried minced onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs

  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp dried onion flakes
  • 3 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

For the meat

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Mix

  • Put the mix ingredients in a zip-top bag or jar, close it, and shake well. Keep any extra mix in a sealed container in the pantry.

Pork chops

  • Heat the oven to 425°F.
  • Pour some of the mix into a large zip-top bag.
  • Rinse the pork chops under cold water.
  • Brush the chops with 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
  • Put each chop in the bag, close it, and shake until coated.
  • Take it out, shake off the extra, and set it on a lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

Chicken

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Coat the chicken pieces the same way, using the bag.
  • Bake bone-in chicken for 45 minutes and boneless chicken for 20 minutes.

Notes

Coat each chop well with the mix; use as much as it takes. Cook pork to 145°F and chicken to 165°F.
