One of the things I crave lately, thanks to my pregnancy are homemade Rice Krispie Treats, but I always have cereal left over and I don't eat cereal really. What waste! What horror! What's a preggers to do? Why make Rice Krispie Chicken of course!(Oh, but of course!)
Rice Krispie Chicken was often made for the family gatherings on my Mom's side. Us kids (cousins and siblings) used to stand around the pan after it was pulled from the oven and scoop up the hot, buttery krispies with our spoons while the adults took pieces of chicken. I can't lie- a couple aunts joined in on the fun too!
Recipe below! But heed this warning- the stray buttery krispies left on the pan are surprisingly addictive so get your spoons ready when that pan comes out!
Preheat oven to 350°.
Rinse chicken and marinate in enough buttermilk to completely submerge the chicken, and place the covered bowl in the fridge for 1 hour.
Melt butter in a glass measuring cup.
Crack three eggs and make a seasoned egg wash.
In a large bowl easure out 8 cups of rice krispie cereal. Set the bowls side by side with the egg wash and with greased jelly roll pan nearby.
Dip each chicken piece in a seasoned egg wash and then dredge through the rice krispie bowl, coasting with a thick layer of rice krispie cereal. Use your hands to ensure chicken is thickly coated. Line on jelly roll pan. Sprinkle remaining rice krispie mixture over the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle each chicken piece with melted butter (An alternative to the egg wash is milk and melted butter, or plain yogurt.)
Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check oven often for browning. If chicken begins to brown, cover loosely with foil and continue to bake until done and juices run clear.
