Chicken Feed

This was my Pop’s favorite Christmas Food!

Ingredients:

Butter

Worcestershire Sauce

Garlic Powder

Cayenne Pepper

Mixed Nuts

Cheerios

Rice Chex

Wheat Chex

Corn Chex

Mini Pretzel Sticks - broken in half

Instructions:

Melt one stick of butter in the bottom of a broiler pan. Add 3 Tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce, large dash of Garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Mix well, then start adding the rest!

Detailed Instructions

I usually start with the nuts, stir into the mixture, then add each of the cereals, stirring and and coating in the butter & spice mixture. When all of the pieces are in the pan, place in a 350* oven for about 15 minutes. Stir, then turn oven down to 200*. Check and stir about every 30 minutes for a couple hours - great to do while watching Christmas movies. At the first hour mark, we usually add 1/4 cup more of melted butter and another Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce together, drizzling over the top and making sure to stir. When you get it out of the oven, let it dry completely, then store in an airtight container. when you cook it gently, you get lots more flavor!
