I don’t think there is a southern cook alive that doesn’t have some sort of pride in serving chicken in SOME sort of crust. It’s in our nature. Fried, baked, crispy, cajun or mild… Most Southern cooks have a few recipes up their sleeves.
Here’s an easy one.
WHAT YOU NEED:
You’re gonna love me, most of this you probably already have in your fridge. If not, you probably eat healthier than me most of the time. So you’ll live longer, but I still wouldn’t trade places.
1 cup of Club cracker crumbs (BASH em fine)
1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese… then maybe a little more because cheese
1 tablespoon of dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon of salt
a little Pepper if you like to rock and roll
dash of garlic pepper
about 2 or so pounds of boneless chicken (I use boneless thighs cause they’re cheap)
1/2 cup butter melted.
WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME
combine the first six ingredients, crush the crumbs so fine, you’ll want to hit on it. Also.. melt the butter.
Make sure the chicken is rinsed in cold water and patted dry. Then coat the chicken in butter whle in the pan.
Now slap it around in the cracker mixture like a bully at the sandbox.
put it on a baking pan and bake at 350 for around an hour or until done. (Ovens are different, so I can’t stress enough to check on it often)
There you have it. I will once again stress to check it now and again. It took me a few tries to get it where I wanted, of course… that’s never a bad thing, that just means I get to keep cooking.
