Copycat Chicken in a Biskit Crackers
Description
This recipe recreates the well-known Chicken in a Biskit crackers by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt with cold butter and vegetable oil to form a crumbly dough. Citric acid contributes a subtle tang that enhances the seasoning blend of poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, celery salt, and nutritional yeast for a distinctive flavor.
After mixing, the dough is rolled out between parchment sheets to a thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch and cut into rectangular shapes roughly 1 1/4 by 1 1/2 inches. Poking holes with a fork before baking prevents puffing and helps create a crisp texture. The crackers bake at 400°F until golden and crunchy.
The layering of herbs and spices on the topping ensures an evenly coated flavor profile, matching the savory, slightly cheesy taste of the original snack. These crackers provide a satisfying crunch and can be served as snacks or paired with dips and cheeses.
Equipment like a food processor facilitates mixing, but dough can be made by hand. Rolling thinly and uniformly is key to even crisping during baking. Omission of citric acid lessens the tang but does not prevent the crackers from baking properly.
Ingredients
Dough
- 255 g all-purpose flour 2 cups
- 6 tablespoons butter cold and cut into cubes, salted
- 14 g baking powder 3 teaspoons
- 42 g sugar 3 tablespoons
- 1 oz vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon citric acid
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine ground
Topping
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt fine ground
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Instructions
- Create the Topping Add all of the topping ingredients to a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Create the Dough In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour and cubed cold butter. Pulse until all of the butter is cut into the flour and is made into a crumbly mixture. Add the salt, sugar, baking powder, citric acid, and poultry seasoning and pulse until well combined.
- With the food processor running, slowly add the oil and water. Blend until a ball of dough forms.
- Roll Out Dough Split the dough in half and roll out one half on a large piece of parchment paper until it is about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick. Do your best to roll it out into a large rectangle. Use your wheeled dough cutter or a knife to trim the edges to shape it into a rectangle, moving those trimmed pieces to fill in the edges to create a rectangle.
- Cut Crackers Use your wheeled dough cutter or a butter knife to cut 1 1/4 X 1 1/2 inch rectangles and use a fork to poke three lines of holes in each cracker.
- Season Use half of the mixture to season the crackers, generously sprinkling it on top and then using your hand to gently spread evenly over all of the crackers.
- Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Bake Gently move the parchment paper to a baking sheet and bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges of the crackers start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and slide the parchment paper off of the baking tray and let cool. Once cooled completely, store in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks.
Notes
- If a food processor is unavailable, mix flour and butter by hand using a pastry cutter, then add dry ingredients and slowly mix oil and water with a spoon or hand mixer until a smooth dough forms.
- Citric acid enhances the flavor by adding tanginess but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Use vegetable oil or canola oil; both work well in the dough.
- The seasoning blend is important for replicating the original flavor; substitutions are not recommended.
- Roll dough evenly and thinly for a uniform crunch and consistent baking.
- Thoroughly coat crackers with the seasoning topping for strong flavor and texture similar to the original product.
