I like to call this America’s best-loved oven-fried chicken. The secret to the breading is buttery crackers, which create a golden brown crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 50)
- 1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. rubbed sage
- 2 eggs
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 lbs.), cut up
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°. Place a rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; coat the rack with cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the first seven ingredients. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs. Dip chicken in eggs, then in cracker mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Place on prepared rack.
- Bake 20 minutes. Turn chicken; bake 15-25 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear.
