Instructions

Place Club crackers in a gallon size ziptop plastic bag. Move the crackers around to make as much space between them as possible.

In a small bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk to combine.

Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly.

Pour the spice and oil mixture over the crackers in the bag.

Seal the bag with a lot of air and rotate by the corners until the crackers appear coated. Flip the bag side to side several times as well.

For the rest of the day, rotate and flip the bag every hour or so.

Let stand in the bag overnight for best results.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oil Infusion Magic 🌶️
Use high-quality vegetable oil and let the spice mixture sit in the oil for at least 30 minutes before mixing with crackers to maximize flavor penetration.
Cracker Coating Technique 🥣
For even seasoning, rotate and flip the sealed bag multiple times during the marinating process to ensure every cracker gets fully coated with the spicy oil mixture.
Spice Level Customization 🔥
Adjust cayenne pepper quantity to control heat - start with less and gradually increase for your preferred spice level, remembering that the flavor develops overnight.
Storage Optimization 🥫
Store Alabama Fire Crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, and use a paper towel to absorb any excess oil for maximum crispness.
Flavor Layering Pro 🧂
Consider toasting your spices briefly in a dry skillet before mixing with oil to enhance their aromatic compounds and create a more complex flavor profile.
