Mama's Puttin On The Ritz Chicken

1-Whole Fryer Cut Up or Legs & Quarters(1-PK)
2- Sleeves of Ritz Crackers From Box
1- Stick of Blue Bonnet Margarine
Salt+Pepper+ Large Casserole Dish.

Melt 3/4th of the stick of butter in a wide top pan. After you have washed your chicken really well, salt and pepper it, rubbing the two into the meat.
Dip the meat into the melted butter. Lay to the side.
Crush while in sleeves, the Ritz Crackers to a fine texture. Pour them into a bowl. Take your chicken that is drenched in butter and roll it in the Crushed Ritz Crackers.
Put the other 1/4 stick of butter in the bottom of the casserole dish. Lay the chicken down on the bottom of the dish and on top of the unmelted butter chunks. Put tin foil on top for about 20 mins. then remove so the top will brown the rest of cooking time which is about 40 more mins. Serve with a vegetable and you have the tasty dish of a Rich Family. You will be PUT ON THE RITZ!
