Crispy butter chicken is an easy oven baked fried chicken with just a few ingredients in 30 minutes that your kids will LOVE!
Thereโs more than one way to fry a chicken. Iโve done Crispy Fried Chicken, Pioneer Take-Out Fried Chicken and Oven Fried Chicken, and crispy butter chicken is next in line.
This is an easy recipe to make on weeknights or when you donโt want to spend a lot of time cooking. Crunchy, crispy and with a rich taste youโd swear comes from a fancy restaurant, butter chicken is sure to be one of your new favorite recipes.
The thing I love about this recipe is the quick and easy dinner it makes. We keep the cracker crumbs ready ahead of time. If you want to crush a box of Ritz crackers ahead of time and keep them in your pantry, this recipe will take you less time to prepare than it takes for your oven to heat up!
I also use 6 ounce chicken breasts for this recipe, so if your chicken is much larger you may need to increase your cooking time. Some grocery stores sell chicken breasts that can weigh over 10 ounces each, so just be aware that you need to cook to doneness versus only following the time listed
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Ritz crackers or similar butter crackers, crushed
ยฝ cup butter, cut into small pieces
ยฝ teaspoon garlic salt
black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place a few pieces of butter in a 9ร13 pan. Melt butter in pre-heated oven. Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan, make sure that there are no dry spots.
In a medium size bowl, mix together crackers, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Place beaten eggs in another medium size bowl.
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, and then dredge in the cracker mixture, coating it completely.
Place each coated chicken breast in a pan, and put remaining pieces of butter, over the top of chicken breasts.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
