Alabama Fire Cracker Recipe
Alabama Fire Crackers are a beloved Southern snack that combines the perfect blend of crunchy, spicy, and savory flavors. They are addicting so you have been warned! They are perfect for game day snacks or just to bring to work.
Get Ready for a Flavor Explosion! Here’s what you’ll need: – 1 box of Saltines (16 ounces) – 1 ½ cups of Canola oil – 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper (bring on the heat!) – 2 ranch seasoning packets (1 ounce each) – 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic – 1 teaspoon of ground pepper.
Place all the seasonings and oil in a gallon-sized Ziplock bag. Close the bag and massage the ingredients together until they’re well combined. Next, add the crackers to the bag, seal it, and gently rotate it to coat those crackers evenly. Now, the hardest part: waiting! Let the bag rest overnight, flipping it once after an hour if you can. And that’s it! Time to Get Your Snack On!

Instructions
- Place the seasonings and oil in a gallon size ziploc baggie.

- Leave the bag to rest overnight, flipping the bag once after an hour, if possible. Enjoy!
Notes
● You can use vegetable oil in place of canola, but I’ve never tried other oils to know if any other options are viable.
● If the bag doesn’t get flipped/rotated at least once when resting, some crackers might end up more oily than others. It’s not a huge deal, but they definitely turn out more even if rotated.
● I tend to transfer the crackers to a clean baggie/container after they’re finished soaking in the flavors. Makes for a cleaner snack time.
