I’ve never made fried chicken before trying this recipe. One, I’m quite afraid of using hot grease, and two, I never ever thought it would be something my husband would eat. In the Southern Plate cook book, my husband found quite a few recipes he wanted to try and one of them was a Cracker Fried Chicken Recipe. I was shocked that he wanted to try it.

I was shocked at how easy it was to fry chicken

I was shocked that they whole family liked it.

Plus they wanted to have it again! I love this simple fried chicken recipe. I got to beat the chicken with my hands

Covered it in eggs and then dipped it into the crackers

For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying it. I fried it.
