Ya know, by now, I should know better than to doubt you Christy. These are fabulous. I wasn’t sure what to expect without adding any other seasonings, but the crackers with the salt were just perfect. I think next time I might fry up the rest of the crackers though.

I fixed these tonight and they were great! Very tender. I fried some eggplant to go with them and, boy, am I tired of dredging and frying! I used low salt crackers, but I added some salt and I think it turned out OK! My husband was in heaven! I rarely fry anything and I did two fried dishes in one night.

i remember my mom making these when i was a kid- we just didnt have the term ‘chicken strips’ then.
she used to save out some of the crackers and ‘fty’ them in theleftover oil……oh yum yum yum…

question, dad is on lofat diet- can these be BAKED?

thanks for the answer

I have made something similar to this, but instead of crackers, I use home made version of Italian Bread Crumbs with a bit of grated asiago cheese sprinkled over the top just after removing from the pan…. Then serve with mashed taters and counry gravy… I get the vapors just thinking about it.

Hi Sarah. Love the variation you suggest. Bake it at 350*? 400*? For how long?

“Gunk” is also the name of the “stuff” that you hae to skim off the top of the water and sides of pot when you are boiling a chicken for stew or dumplings. Goat stew is sure nuff GUNKY! I wonder how many readers are country enough to know that!!?!!

ok, so I dont have a meat mallot in my kitchen…I had to use the bottom of a small boiler! Which worked just fine, and was kind of cool especially since I was a little wound up after running behind my whiny 2yr old today

I too grew up with these chicken planks. Mama fixed them on a regular basis and they dissapeared fast! I fixed them for my son and now for my grandkids. Look forward to your recipes because its like my mama and grandmama are here cooking all over again..Keep them coming!!

I do ritz crackers dipped in butter first (not egg,) or dip in ranch dressing then ritz crackers. Also bake instead of fry. Very good.

“GUNKY!!!” Great term and well worth the education to get that one. Sort of like – “eeeuuuuwwww” which i got with my education. HeeHee. BTW planks look good too.
