Crackers spicy

Such homemade croutons are very good as an appetizer for beer and for salads, which get their piquancy from the use of fragrant, crispy croutons.

Ingredients

• Bread - half a loaf
• Vegetable oil - 50 ml
• Ground paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground red hot pepper - on the tip of a knife, to taste
• Ground black pepper - to taste
• Chicken cubes - 2 pcs.
• Garlic - 1 head

Directions

1. Bread, best of all yesterday or even the day before yesterday (a good use of stale bread), cut into cubes or cubes. Put on a baking sheet and put in a preheated oven to 250 ° C. Fry crackers in a preheated oven until browned. If there are a lot of crackers on the baking sheet, more than one layer, then gently mix them with a slotted spoon and dry the crackers a little more at high temperature. Then, without opening the oven, turn it off and leave the crackers in the oven until they cool completely. This makes the bread crumbs dry and crispy.
2. Now let's make the dressing. Heat about 50 ml of vegetable oil in a frying pan, add black pepper, red pepper, paprika and chicken cubes to it. Remove from the burner so that the spices do not burn, but only saturate the oil with their aromas. Squeeze garlic into hot oil. Garlic, too, in hot oil will slightly lose its sharpness, but not the aroma. You can take half the head or the whole - it depends on your taste, how spicy the croutons you want to get.
3. You can serve spicy crackers as an independent snack or with soup, salad, meat.
