Home made version of shake and bake for chicken...

1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp poultry seasoning

To use this:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place one cup of the mix in a plastic bag.

In a bowl, mix an egg and 1/2 cup of milk. Dip the chicken pieces one at a time into the milk mixture, then shake one at a time in the plastic bag.
