Kellogg's® Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats®

When Kellogg's reacted to spectacular sales of its Rice Krispies
Treats with two new varieties of the popular and addictive snack,
TSR got on the case. It seems we've all tasted the original Rice
Krispies Treats. The homemade version is the next homework
assignment in Cooking 101, after learning how to boil water.
And the Kellogg's store-bought packaged version has been available
to the lazier of us for several years now. This variety, however,
puts that whole Reese's "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate"
thing to work. The crunchy bar has just a touch of nutty essence
that builds nicely on the other familiar flavors. But don't be
fooled by that dark "chocolatey" coating on top. It's not actually
chocolate, but rather a melt-resistant custom blend of cocoa and
uh, stuff, that tastes a lot like chocolate; and that happens to
work better for the product from a manufacturing, shipping, and
shelf-life aspect. But here in kitchen cloning land, we don't have
to worry about those things. So get ready to walk on the wild side,
people, as we step up to the microwave and melt some real chocolate
chips for topping our cinch of a crunchy clone.
1 tablespoon margarine
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips
non-stick cooking spray
1. Combine margarine, peanut butter, and salt in a large saucepan
over low heat.
2. When peanut butter and margarine have melted, add marshmallows
and vanilla and stir until marshmallows have melted. Remove from
heat.
3. Add Rice Krispies and stir until cereal is well coated with the
melted marshmallow mixture.
4. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with a light coating of non-stick
cooking spray. Pour the Rice Krispies mixture into the dish and,
using wax paper or lightly greased hands, press down until it's
flat in the dish. Cool.
5. Prepare the topping by pouring the chocolate chips into a glass
dish. Microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Stir gently.
Microwave for an additional minute on 50 percent power. Stir gently
once more until smooth. If the mixture hasn't completely melted,
zap it again for another 30 seconds.
6. Use a spatula to spread a thin layer of chocolate over the top
of the Rice Krispies mixture. Cool at room temperature
(at least 72 degrees), or chill until firm. Slice into 16 bars.
Makes 16 bars.

Kenny Rogers Roasters® Corn Muffins

He knows when to hold em, and he knows when to fold em. And
lately he's been folding em quite a bit as Kenny Rogers Roasters
restaurants across the country have bolted their doors for lack
of interest. Looks like that whole "home meal replacement"
think hasn't worked out too well for this fire-roasted chicken
chain. But that doesn't mean that Kenny didn't know how to make
awesome corn muffins that are served with every meal. And since
it's becoming harder and harder to find a Kenny Rogers Roasters
outlet, we have no choice but to duplicate these at home if we
want to re-create this part of the Kenny experience.

Kellogg's® Cocoa Rice Krispies Treats®

It's the Rice Krispies Treat for all you chocolate lovers.
By simply replacing regular Rice Krispies with Kellogg's
Cocoa Krispies, then adding a bit of cocoa to the recipe,
we can clone the exact flavor of the product you otherwise
have to buy in boxes in the grocery store. This recipe makes

Jacquin's® Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur

Here's a liqueur that's simple to make at home. All you need
is an inexpensive vodka and an empty bottle to store the

version. Try storing it in the freezer for a cold shot on a
hot summer day. Whoof!

K.C. Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce

K.C. Masterpiece® Original Barbecue Sauce
Even though it's now owned and produced by the Clorox Company,
the taste of Original K. C. Masterpiece barbecue sauce is the
same as when it was first created in good ole' Kansas City,
USA. This is the sauce that steals awards from all the other
popular slathers on the market. It's now even is sold in a
variety of flavors. But this is the clone for the original,
and you'll find it very easy to make. Just throw all of the
ingredients in a saucepan, crank it up to a boil, then simmer
for about an hour. Done deal. And just like the original
Masterpiece, this stuff will make a work of art out of any
of your grilled meats, or burgers and sandwiches; and as a
dipping sauce or marinade.
2 cups water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

and whisk until smooth.
2. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45
to 60 minutes or until mixture is thick.
3. Cool, then store in a covered container in the refrigerator
overnight so that flavors can develop.
Makes 1 1/2 cups.
Tidbits
Liquid smoke is a flavoring found near the barbecue sauces and
marinades. Use hickory-flavored liquid smoke if you have a choice.

Jack In The Box® Oreo Cookie Shake

If you live in one of the 15 Western states served by Jack in
the Box, you have no doubt cracked a gut from the hilarious
TV ads produced by this popular hamburger chain. In the spots
a suit-wearing "Jack" runs the company, even though he's got
a bulbous antenna ball for a head with a giant smiley-face
painted on it. He has a private jet, plays golf, even has kids
with mini antenna-ball heads.
Jack also has a featured shake flavor that, it turns out,
is very easy to make at home with a blender, ice cream, milk
and a handful of Oreo cookies. Sure the drive-thru is convenient
and easy. But if you don't feel like getting out, now you can
enjoy this clone at home from the first fast food chain in the
country to use a drive-thru window way beck when.
3 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups milk
8 Oreo cookies
1. Combine the ice cream and milk in a blender and mix on low
speed until smooth. Stir the shake with a spoon to mix, if
necessary.
2. Break Oreo cookies while adding them to the blender. Mix on
low speed for 5 to 10 seconds or until cookies are mostly pureed
into the shake, but a few larger pieces remain. Stir with a spoon
if necessary to help combine cookies.
3. Pour shake into two 12-ounce glasses.
Serves 2.

Girl Scout Cookies® Shortbread

Girl Scout Cookies® Shortbread
Since they only sell these once a year, right around
springtime, you're bound to get a craving sometime around fall.
And if you're still holding onto a box, they may have begun
to taste a bit like used air-hockey pucks. Now you can toss out
those relics and fill the box with a fresh batch, made from
this clone recipe for the first variety of cookies sold by the
Girl Scouts back in 1917.
1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus an extra 1/4 cup reserved for
rolling)
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar,
vanilla, and salt with an electric mixer.
2. Add the egg and beat mixture until it's fluffy. Add the baking
soda and mix for about 20 seconds, then add the buttermilk and mix
for an additional 30 seconds.
3. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well with an
electric mixer until flour is incorporated.
5. Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill
it for 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
7. Roll dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/8-inch thick and
punch out cookies with a 1 1/2 to 2-inch cutter (a medium-size spice
bottle lid works well). Arrange cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 60 cookies.

Girl Scout Cookies® Thin Mints

Girl Scout Cookies® Thin Mints
If those cute little cookie peddlers aren't posted outside
the market, it may be tough to get your hands on these -
the most popular cookies sold by the Girl Scouts each year.
One out of every four boxes of cookies sold by the girls is
Thin Mints. This recipe uses an improved version of the
chocolate wafers created for the Oreo cookie clone in the
second TSR book "More Top Secret Recipes." That recipe creates
108 cookie wafers, so when you're done dipping, you'll have
the equivalent of three boxes of the Girl Scout Cookies favorite.
(See? That's why you bought those extra cookie sheets.)
You could, of course, reduce the recipe by baking only 1/3
of the cookie dough for the wafers and then reducing the
coating ingredients by 1/3, giving you a total of 36 cookies.
But that may not be enough to last you until next spring.
Chocolate Cookie Wafers
1 18.25-ounce package Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix
3 tablespoons shortening, melted
1/2 cup cake flour, measured then sifted
1 egg
3 tablespoons water
Non-stick cooking spray
Coating
3 12-ounce bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
6 tablespoons shortening
1. Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the
water a little bit at a time until the dough forms. Cover
and chill for 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough
to just under 1/16 of an inch thick. To cut, use a lid from a
spice container with a 1 1/2-inch diameter (Schilling brand is good.)
Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with
a light coating on non-stick spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove
the wafers from the oven and cool completely.
4. Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening
in a large microwave - safe glass or ceramic bow. Heat on 50
percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for an addition
minute. Stir once again, and if chocolate is not a smooth
consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals
until smooth.
5. Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on
the edge of the bowl so that the excell chocolate runs off, and
then place the cookies side-by-side on a wax paper - lined baking
sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
Makes 108 cookies.

Fiddle Faddle® & Screaming Yellow Zonkers®

Fiddle Faddle® & Screaming Yellow Zonkers®
I know the most popular candy corn out there is Cracker Jack,
but my favorite has always been Screaming Yellow Zonkers and
Fiddle Fiddle from Lincoln Snacks Company. Fiddle Faddle is
butter toffee-coated popcorn with almonds thrown in. Screaming
Yellow Zonkers (you gotta love the name) is similar, but without
the almonds. The secret to the yellow coloring of the Zonkers:
buttered popcorn.
Fiddle Faddle (butter toffee with almonds)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
1/2 cup roasted almonds
Zonkers
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags butter-flavored microwave popcorn
1. For either recipe, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water
and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to
bring the candy to 265-275 degrees, or what is known as the hard
ball stage. For this it's best to use a candy thermometer. If you
don't have one, don't worry. Drip the candy into a small glass of
cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet slightly pliable
ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mixture closely so that it
doesn't boil over.
2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2
quarts or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn (plus almonds for Fiddle Faddle)
on one large or two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your
oven set on its lowest temperature. This will keep the popcorn hot
so that the candy will coat better.
3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.
4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the
candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that
each kernel is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven
for five more minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat
each kernel. You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get
all of the popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax
paper to cool. Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's hot.
5. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a
tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates
if left out.
Makes about 4 quarts.

Fatburger®

Fatburger®
Southern California - the birthplace of famous hamburgers from
McDonald's, Carl's Jr., and In-n-Out Burger - is home to another
thriving burger chain that opened its first outlet in 1952. Lovie
Yancey thought of the perfect name for the 1/3-pound burgers she
sold at her Los Angeles burger joint: Fatburger. Now with over 41
units in California, Nevada, and moving into Washington and
Arizona, Fatburger has become the food critics' favorite, winning
"best burger in town" honors with regularity. The secret is the
seasoned salt used on a big 'ol lean beef patty. And there's no
ketchup on the stock version, just mayo, mustard, and relish.
Replace the ground beef with ground turkey and you've got Fatburger's
Turkeyburger all up and cloned.
1/3 pound lean ground beef
seasoned salt
ground black pepper
1 plain hamburger bun
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
1 tomato slice
1/2 tablespoon mustard
1/2 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon chopped onion
3 dill pickle slices (hamburger slices)
Optional
1 slice American cheese
Grill the unsuspecting beef patty in a hot frying pan.
Slap the hot side and the cold side together.
1. Form the ground beef into a patty that is about 1 inch wider
than the circumference of the hamburger bun.
2. Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium/high heat. Fry the
patty in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done. Season
both sides of the beef with seasoned salt and ground black pepper.
3. As the meat cooks prepare the bun by spreading approximately 1/2
tablespoon of mayonnaise on the face of the top bun.
4. Place the lettuce on the mayonnaise, followed by the tomato slice.
5. When the beef is done place the patty on the bottom bun.
6. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of mustard over the top of the beef
patty.
7. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of relish over the mustard.
8. Sprinkle the chopped onion onto the relish.
9. Arrange the pickles on the chopped onion.
10. Bring the two halves of the burger together and serve with
gumption.
Makes 1 burger.
Tidbits
If you want cheese on your burger, put a slice of American cheese
on the face of the bottom bun before adding the beef patty. The
heat from the meat will melt the cheese.

Lone Star Steakhouse® Baked Sweet Potato

Lone Star Steakhouse® Baked Sweet Potato
It saddles on up next to your entree at this huge steakhouse
chain, but it's not what it claims to be. Sure, the menu says
"baked sweet potato," but you're actually getting a sweet and
tender red-skinned yam underneath all that yummy melted butter
and cinnamon/sugar. And don't just get any yam for this top secret
clone. You want to use garnet yams, if you have a choice. Then be
sure to cook them long enough that the sugar in the yams begins
to squirt out and burn in a couple of spots. Each yam should be
tender, but not mushy. The skin on the outside will turn from red
to greyish-brown, and inside it will be a hearty shade of black.
4 garnet yams
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup whipped butter
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake yams for 45 to 75 minutes
(bigger yams take longer to cook). When they are done, the outside
will have darkened and the inside will be soft. You may see liquid
from the potato oozing out and charring. When the potato is sliced
open, the inside of the skin will be charred black from the
caramelizing sugar in the potato. This is a perfectly cooked potato.
3. To serve, slice a potato down the center. Add two tablespoons of
whipped butter, then sprinkle some cinnamon/sugar over the top.
Makes 4 servings.

Lawry's® Taco Spices & Seasonings

Lawry's® Taco Spices & Seasonings
This is a clone for the stuff you buy in 1- ounce packets to
create, as the package says, "a fun-filled Mexican fiesta in
minutes." Isn't that so true? In fact, thanks to Lawry's my
last Mexican fiesta was filled with so much fun that I had to
take a siesta the next day. I owe it all to that fabulous little
packet of seasoning. And now I promise you just as much fun with
this TSR clone. Golly, maybe even a tad more fun if you're lucky.
Just mix the ingredients together in a small bowl, then add it to
1 pound of browned ground beef along with some water and let it
simmer. Before you know it you'll be up to your nostrils in good
old-fashioned, taco-making fun. Better rest up, gosh darn it.
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground oregano
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
2. To prepare the meat filling for the tacos as described on the
original package instructions:
"In large skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef until crumbly; drain
fat. Add spices & seasoning and 2/3 cup water; mix thoroughly.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, and cook, uncovered,
7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon meat filling into
warmed taco shells or tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce,
grated cheddar cheese and chopped tomato. Use fresh salsa and
guacamole if desired."
Makes meat filling for 12 tacos (about 3 tablespoons each).

Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies

Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies
These soft, creme-filled sandwich cookies were the first snacks
produced by McKee Foods back in 1960. It was his 4-year old
granddaughter Debbie after which founder O.D. McKee named his
line of snack cakes. O.D. was inspired by a picture of the
little girl in play clothes and a straw hat, and that's the
image we still find today on every package. The secret to cloning
these mouth-watering snacks is re-creating the soft, chewy
consistency of the oatmeal cookies. To duplicate the texture,
the cookies are slightly underbaked. Then you whip up some of
the easy-to-make creme filling with marshmallow creme and spread
it between two of the oatmeal cookies to complete the sandwich.
Next stop, yum city!
Cookies
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups 1-minute Quaker Oats
Creme Filling
2 teaspoons very hot water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow creme (1 7-ounce jar)
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugars, molasses,
vanilla, and eggs.
3. In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and
cinnamon.
4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix in
the oats.
5. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are just starting to
darken around the edges. They will still appear moist in the center.
Be careful not to overcook - when cooled, the cookies should be soft
and chewy.
6. While the cookies bake, prepare the filling. Use a small bowl to
dissolve the salt in 2 teaspoons of very hot water. Set this
solution aside to cool.
7. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and
vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on
high speed until fluffy. Add the cooled salt solution to the filling
mixture and combine with the mixer.
8. Assemble each creme pie by spreading the filling over one side of
a cookie (the flat side) and press another cookie on top, making a
sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cookies and filling.
Makes 2 dozen creme pies.

Almost La Victoria's Green Taco sauce

Recipe By : Bill Wight via chile-heads
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Mexican Sauces
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lbs. Anaheim or New Mex. chiles -- Roast -- peel, deseed
1 lb. Yellow Hungarian Wax chiles -- seeded and chopped
1 Serranos and jalapeno -- seeded and chopped
2 1/2 lbs. Tomatillos -- slice 1/8" thick
7 lbs. Green tomatoes -- slice 1/4" thick
1/2 bunch Cilantro -- rough chop
4 cloves Garlic
1 med. White onion -- chopped
1/4 cup Lime juice
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 Tbs. Salt
4 Tbs. Corn Starch
Heat a large cast iron skillet to hot and toast the tomatoes and tomatillos
without any oil. Do just one layer at a time and give each slice a nice
dark brown color on both sides without burning. Remove when toasted to a
glass bowl. Do not deglaze the pan.
In a blender, combine the onion, cilantro, chiles, tomatoes, garlic and
tomatillos in batch sizes to half-fill the blender jar. Pur|e. If any
dark brown liquid collects in the bottom of the toasted tomato and
tomatillo bowl, add this to the last blender load.
Mix the cornstarch in the lime juice/vinegar. In a large stewing pot,
combine the blender loads, add the cornstarch mixture and heat until the
sauce comes to a low boil, mixing constantly. Be careful here, if you
don't mix constantly the thick sauce will tend to erupt in hot little
geysers of taco sauce that could burn you. Allow sauce to cool and add
salt to taste. Transfer to clean jars, filling them 3/4 full and freeze
what you can't use in a few weeks. Be careful not to fill the jars too
full or they'll break when you freeze them.
I made a batch of sauce last year and it tastes just fine after a year in
the freezer. The sauce keeps OK in my refrigerator for at least a month.
* Adjust heat level to your personal taste. The La Victoria sauce is mild.
3 to 4 quarts

Kraft® Deluxe Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner

It's time to clone America's best-selling brand of instant
macaroni & cheese. This recipe is for the "Deluxe" variety
of this popular product - that is, the one that comes with
an envelope of thick cheese sauce, rather than the dry,
powdered cheese. I think the "Deluxe" version, with it's
two-cheese blend, is the better tasting of the two, although
it's gonna hit you a bit harder in the wallet at the supermarket.
But now, with this Top Secret Recipe, you can make creamy
macaroni & cheese that taste like Kraft's original at a fraction
of the price of the real deal. You gotta love that!
8 cups water
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Cheez Whiz
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Bring 8 cups (2 quarts) of water to a boil over high heat in
a large saucepan. Add elbow macaroni to water and cook for
10 to 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
2. As macaroni boils, prepare sauce by combining cheddar cheese,
Cheez Whiz, and milk in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
Stir cheese mixture often as it heats, so that it does not burn.
Add salt. When all of the cheddar cheese has melted and the sauce
is smooth, cover pan and set aside until macaroni is ready.
3. When macaroni is ready, strain water, but do not rinse the
macaroni.
4. Using the same pan you prepared the macaroni in, combine the
macaroni with the cheese sauce, and mix well.
Makes about 4 cups.

Kraft® Shake'n Bake® (Original)

Need a recipe that copies Shake'n Bake in a pinch?
Or maybe you don't feel like going to the store for
the real thing. Here's the TSR solution for a quick
clone that will give you the same texture and flavor of
Kraft Shake'n Bake using very common ingredients. You may
notice the color is a bit different in this clone when
compared to the real thing. That's because this recipe doesn't
include beet powder - a hard to find ingredient that lends a
dark orange tint to the original. But after you sink your teeth
into the chicken (baked the same way as described on the
Shake'n Bake box) and you'll swear it's the same stuff. When
you're ready to get shaking and baking, use this breading on
2 1/2 pounds of chicken pieces or on 2 pounds of boneless,
skinless chicken breasts.
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon corn flake crumbs
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sugar
scant 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
scant 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
2. Prepare chicken following the same technique as described on
the box of the original mix using 2 1/2 lbs. of bone-in chicken
(6 to 8 pieces, with or without skin) or 2 lbs. boneless skinless
chicken breast halves. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, then moisten
the chicken with water. Use a large plastic bag for the coating
and use the same steps as described on the original package:
"Shake moistened chicken, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, in shaker bag
with coating mixture. Discard any remaining mixture and bag. Bake
at 400 degrees in ungreased or foil-lined 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking
pan until cooked through -
BONE-IN: 45 minutes/BONELESS: 20 minutes."
Serves 4.
