Serving Suggestions
Once baked, serve the Crispy Butter Chicken hot and fresh. Pair it with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce, for an added layer of flavor. This dish is perfect for family dinners, and it’s sure to impress guests with its crispy exterior and tender, juicy interior.
Tips
- If you don’t have Ritz crackers on hand, you can substitute with another type of cracker or even panko breadcrumbs for a slightly different texture.
- For a lighter version, you can replace the butter with olive oil or a cooking spray, although the chicken might not be as rich and buttery.
- If you prefer your chicken extra crispy, you can broil it for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, but be sure to watch it closely to avoid burning the crumbs.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispiness, or microwave for a quicker option, though it may soften the crust slightly.
