ingredients

4 cups flour
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 cup all-bran cereal, crushed
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon season pepper
1 teaspoon curry (or more)
1 teaspoon sweet basil
1 teaspoon oregano

directions

Mix the flour, cayenne pepper, all-bran cereal, parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, taco seasoning, season pepper, curry, basil and oregano together. I use a large size zipper plastic bag and keep it in the freezer.
Use for coating any and all types of meat.
You can add more of the cayenne and chili powder if you so desire. I usually just throw in what I have at the time I make it so it is never the same twice.
It is a great all-around coating.

My SO and I had bought 10 lbs. of chicken leg/quaters for his lunches.He was wanting me to bake them, so I did a search for a shake n' bake recipe. And came across this one, and decided to try it.The recipe took me a little longer to make since I used Recipe#199955 for the taco seasoning. Since this was for SO's lunches I added some more cayenne and chili powder. ( He really likes spicy stuff :) )I didn't know what you meant about seaon pepper, so I used 1/2 black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper. While the chicken was baking the smell was so wonderful :). For the chicken, I baked it at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and it turned out just great. My SO said it could have used some more salt, but he's a salt nut any way. This will be made again. Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"
