These Homemade Chicken in a Biscuit Crackers are a great snack, full of savory flavor with a crispy texture that rivals store-bought options. Plus, they’re easy to make and perfect for any occasion—game day, a snack on-the-go, or just when you’re craving something delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup olive oil (this adds richness and helps coat the crackers)
- 1 tablespoon onion powder (for savory depth)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder (for a classic garlicky kick)
- 2 tablespoons Knorr chicken bouillon (this is key for the signature chicken flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crackers
- Begin by placing 2 sleeves of Saltine crackers into a large container with a lid (a plastic container works best). You can break the crackers into smaller pieces if you prefer, but keeping them whole will help retain their crispiness.
Step 2: Mix the Oil and Seasonings
- In a separate bowl or blender, combine the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and chicken bouillon. Use a mixer or a magic bullet blender to thoroughly blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. The bouillon will dissolve into the oil, creating a rich, flavorful coating for the crackers.
Step 3: Drizzle Over the Crackers
- Carefully drizzle the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the crackers in the container. Make sure you cover all the crackers, but don’t worry if it seems a little uneven at first—just be sure to toss them well in the next step.
Step 4: Toss the Crackers
- Close the lid on the container and gently tumble or shake the crackers every 5 minutes for 20-30 minutes. This will allow the oil to evenly distribute and coat the crackers. Be gentle, as you want to avoid breaking them.
Step 5: Let Them Sit
- For the best flavor, let the crackers sit for at least a few hours to allow the seasonings to soak in. Overnight is the ideal resting time—this allows the oil to fully absorb, and the salt to level out for a perfectly balanced taste. You’ll be amazed at how the crackers remain crisp even after sitting overnight!
Tips for Success:
- Tumble the crackers gently to avoid breaking them. You want the oil to coat each cracker, not crush them.
- Let them sit overnight for the best flavor. The oil soaks into the crackers and makes them even more flavorful.
- If you don’t have a container with a lid, you can use a large resealable plastic bag. Just shake the bag gently to toss the crackers.
- Add extra seasoning if you like them extra flavorful. A sprinkle of parmesan cheese, dried herbs, or a bit of crushed red pepper flakes can add a personal twist to the recipe.
