Cheezit Chicken

Superbowl Sunday has been a big THING for everyone...for 50 years!
I read some stat somewhere that said Superbowl is the 2nd biggest day of the year where people eat way too much, second only to Thanksgiving.

I can see this!

People converge in small or large groups, and communal plates of food are in extreme abundance.
The party I attend every year is no exception.
We have about 30 people, with an average of 2-3 dishes per person.
It sounds like over-kill, but variety is the spice of life!

This year I have been asked to bring:
Deviled Eggs
Garlic Knots
Peanut Butter Chocolate Dessert

It should be a relaxing year as our Patriots did not make it. It's a relief for the women folk as we do not have to worry about the hubby's blood pressure during the game!

Cheez-It Crackers

Cheez-Its are like crack in my house.
There are times I have to physically restrain my husband from going down the cracker aisle at the grocery.
Imagine my surprise to find a recipe online (click here for original).

Everyone who tried them has raved The flavor is spot on! The cayenne gives it a little kick at the end, so yummy!

What did I do different:
1. I used sea salt (meant for a grinder) and pressed it into the dough before baking
2. I did not line my baking sheet, I just used the bottom sheet of parchment from rolling it out



Ingredients:
1 Cup Flour
4 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small squares
1 (8oz) bag grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (orange is best)
½ Tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until crumbly
3. Add cold water, 1 Tbsp at a time until dough comes together
4. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes
5. Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll to ⅛ inch thick
6. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Using pizza cutter, cut dough into 1 inch squares
8. Sprinkle with kosher salt
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes
