Sesame Almond Chicken

3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
1/4 cup toasted sesame seed
2 1/4 oz. pkg. (2/3 cup) slivered almonds
1 TBS. dried green onion
1 tsp.  bouquet garni* (WTF???  Yeah, that’s what I said too- see below for explanation)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup melted butter
3-3 1/2 lb. frying chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Heat oven to 350.  Combine all ingredients except butter and chicken.  Dip chicken in melted butter, then coat with crumb mixture.  Reserve remaining butter.  Place chicken in ungreased 13x9” baking dish.  Sprinkle with remaining crumbs.  Pour remaining butter over chicekn.  Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until chicken is fork tender.  Serves 4

*1/4 tsp. EACH dried parsley flakes, thyme leaves and 1 crushed bay leaf can be substituted for 1 tsp. bouquet garni.  Thank god because I searched Publix high and low and the only bouquet I came up with was a bunch of roses and that probably wouldn’t have worked well....
