Simply Baked Chicken

with cheese cracker crust

This recipe comes courtesy of the Bland but Grand cookbook by Edith M Peltz. It is a retro cookbook (this edition 1969)

Ingredients

• 1 package (6 oz) cheese crackers, crushed fine (We used half of a 12 oz box)-far fewer crumbs would do
• 2 teaspoons salt (we left this out)
• 1/2 cup salad oil
• 2 broiler-fryers (about 3 pounds each) cut in pieces (We used ~ 3lbs boneless tenderloins)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Pour cracker crumbs in pie plate. Pour salad oil in another pie plate. Dip chicken pieces first in the oil. Then in the crumbs. Place in a single layer in shallow pan. Bake in moderate oven for 1 hour or until tender and golden brown. May be served cold or warm. Note-since I used boneless tenderloins-bake time was about half.
