Ah! Alabama Fire Crackers are a spicy, tangy snack—basically seasoned crackers that are sweet, salty, and fiery all at once. They’re perfect for parties or just munching. Here’s a simple, classic recipe:
🌶 Alabama Fire Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve (about 12 oz / 340 g) Ritz crackers (or similar buttery crackers)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or canola)
- 1–2 tbsp red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)
- 2 tbsp seasoned salt (like Lawry’s)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Optional: ½ tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional for extra tang)
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix seasonings
In a bowl, combine oil, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, garlic powder, (and optional Worcestershire sauce). - Coat crackers
Add crackers to the bowl and toss gently until they are evenly coated. Make sure each cracker gets a good layer of seasoning. - Bake
Spread crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even coating. - Cool & serve
Let cool completely—the crackers will crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
💡 Tips
- Adjust spiciness by varying red pepper flakes or adding cayenne pepper.
- Make it sweet-spicy: add 1–2 tsp brown sugar to the oil mixture.
- For a party-ready snack, double the batch and toss with chopped nuts.
