Use a food processor to crush the crackers and you could add breadcrumbs too. Spray your oven tray with oil first or use parchment. If you live in the UK like me and can’t get ranch seasoning then make your own: 2 tsp dried parsley, 2 tsp onion granules, 1.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp dried dill, 0.5 tsp salt, pinch black pepper.

Instead of rolling the chicken in the cheese crackers put it in the bag and shake it!

You definitely need to marinate the chicken for a long time for it to not taste just like cheez-it’s! I marinated for an hour but I think next time I’ll let it sit all day while I’m at work.

Marinate the chicken as long as possible to get the most ranch flavor possible because if you don’t you will only taste the cheese crackers mostly.
