When I make this it always brings back fond memories of my Grandmother. She made this for us when we visited her in the summer. You can use pretty much any type of chicken pieces you like. My Grandmother always used a whole chicken cut up, but here I am only using my family’s favorite parts, the breasts & thighs.
Wash & pat dry your chicken pieces so the butter will coat the chicken well.
Prepare your dredging station. One dish for melted butter & the other for the cracker crumbs.
Dip each piece into the butter then into the cracker crumbs. Arrange the coated chicken pieces in your foil lined pan so they are not too crowded.
Seal it up well and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
Serve with mashed potatoes & your favorite vegetable.
