It’s so easy to make homemade Shake ‘N’ Bake from scratch with this copycat recipe. If you have Pork chops or chicken on hand, and some dried breadcrumbs you already have almost everything you need to make homemade Shake ‘N’ Bake.
Why Make Homemade Shake and Bake for Pork Chops?
Controlling preservatives and artificial ingredients is important to so many people. Why not easily knock out extra ingredients that you don’t need to prepare your dinner for your family? You can also add more or less of your favorite herbs and spices to your favorite pork chops.
You may want to control the amount of salt in your food and making a homemade mix is a perfect way to do this. You can make delicious homemade Shake and Bake at home.
Preparing copycat Shake ‘N’ Bake
When preparing the homemade breading, I find the largest difference between breadcrumbs from a can, and the mix from Shake ‘N’ Bake is that the packaged mix has finer ground breadcrumbs. If you want a more exact mix, I suggest you mix the breading in a food processor to emulate the packaged mix.
But mixing everything in a bowl will work just fine. You may even want to make breadcrumbs by hand before preparing this recipe.
What type of pork chops can you use?
You can use a variety of different type of pork chops for this recipe. I personally like to grab a variety pack of bone-in pork chops. They are less expensive than bone-in pork chops and some people feel like bone-in pork chops taste even better. You can use:
- Shoulder chops
- Rib chops
- Loin chops
- Sirloin chops
- Boneless chops
How do you make shake and bake pork chops not soggy
Oven-fried pork chops need to be cooked at a higher temperature, 425 degrees is recommended. I like to use pork chops that are bone-in for better flavor, but pork loin chops will also work just fine. I like to use chops that are about 3/8-inch, if your pork chops are thicker, or thinner, you will need to adjust the time.
It is important if the chops are thicker, that you reduce the temperature to around 400 and cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer. It is important to check and make sure pork is cooked to 145-155 degrees. Be sure to let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. This way the juices will redistribute, and you will have juicy pork chops everyone will love!

Frequently asked questions
Breadcrumbs need some sort of glue to help stick to the meat. In this recipe, we used oil, but other recipes may suggest milk or even an egg wash.
Pork is bred to be leaner, so you need not overcook the pork chop, and you may want to use a thicker pork chop to make sure it isn’t dry. Some people also like to brine their pork chops to make sure they are juicy. You can make a simple brine using 4 cups of water, and 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup salt. Simply soak the pork chops for a couple of hours in the brine before using.
