Great Southern Oven Fried Chicken

"I am a retired caterer. I have used this recipe for many years. Everyone I have served it too seems to just love it and always come back for seconds. Its one of the simplest and easiest fried chicken recipes you will ever prepare. The Ritz cracker crumbs were used many years ago as a last minute substitute for saltines. I think this was a one of my best substitutes ever. Needless to say I never used saltines again. I hope you enjoy!"

  1. Great chicken, it had lots of flavor and was tender, moist and juicy. This oven fried chicken was quick and easy to make and it tasted excellent. Made exactly as written but omitted the cumin, personal preference only. This was a lovely dinner served with a simple salad, watermelon wedges, honey and fresh butter muffins. MMMMmmm, I will be making this recipe again and again. Thanks so much for sharing.
     
  2. I had this for the first time at my sister-in-laws Mom's 80th Birthday party! I have never had better fried chicken in my life!!! I didn't leave until I got the recipe!! I had two plates of it and took two plates home!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CHICKEN, and it couldn't be easier!!
     
  3. The chicken was moist tasty and delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
     
  4. Easy, delicious and visually appealing. I used two large breasts, so cut back on butter and Ritz crackers (one crushed sleeve), but kept the spice amounts and oven time the same. Worked out great, and the chicken was very tender. Thanks, Cookiemom!
     
  5. Delicious! My husband raved about it. I used a couple of skinless boneless breasts, about 2 tablespoons of butter and halved all of the other ingredients to make a meal for two. With the adjustments it went into the oven for 20-25 minutes and came out perfect. This ones being printed out to add to my permanent recipe folder.
