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 Temperature Matters 🌡️
Use room-temperature vegetable oil mixed with your spices to prevent the oil from cooking off the crackers' surface during the overnight infusion, ensuring maximum flavor absorption.
Layering Technique for Even Coating 🎯
Add crackers to the ziplock bag in batches with the oil mixture, shaking vigorously between each addition to ensure every cracker gets evenly coated before sealing overnight.
Spice Bloom Enhancement 🌶️
Warm your vegetable oil for 30 seconds in the microwave before mixing with spices to help bloom the flavors of the cayenne, chili, and garlic powders, creating a more robust taste profile.
Seal and Shake Strategy 🤝
Squeeze out excess air from the ziplock bag and shake it every 4-6 hours during the overnight infusion to redistribute the oil and prevent crackers from settling unevenly at the bottom.
Post-Infusion Drying Trick ✨
Spread the crackers on a paper towel-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes after removing from the bag to remove excess oil and achieve optimal crunchiness without greasiness.
