Shake and bake seasoning has made my life easy and my meals flavorful.

This store bought seasoning mixture is perfect for baked chicken (as the name implies), but once you try the shake n bake chicken air fryer method, you won’t want it any other way!

Here’s what I’m going to teach you in this post: 

  • Tips for coating your chicken so every bit of the seasoning mix sticks to the surface.
  • How to make perfect shake and bake chicken in the air fryer instead of baking it in the oven. Instead of shaking and baking, we’ll be shaking and air frying!
