Slow Cooker Chicken Adobo Recipe

Print Recipe

A festive savoury snack mix combining crunchy, salty, and herby flavors—perfect for munching during Christmas Eve gatherings.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups pretzel twists
  • 2 cups mini cheese-flavoured crackers (e.g., Cheez-Its)
  • 2 cups bite‑size rye chips or bagel chips
  • 1 cup wasabi peas
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried rosemary, cayenne (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Place pretzels, cheese crackers, rye chips, wasabi peas, and mixed nuts in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the snack mix. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Spread the coated mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mix is lightly toasted and fragrant.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet (the mix will crisp as it cools).
  8. Transfer to a festive bowl or airtight container and serve on Christmas Eve.

Notes

  • Customize by swapping cheese crackers for cheese‑flavoured popcorn or wasabi peas for sesame sticks.
  • Make it gluten‑free by using gluten‑free pretzels and chips.
  • Prepare up to 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
  • For a sweeter‑savory twist, toss in up to 1/2 cup holiday‑themed candy like chocolate‑covered pretzels after it cools.
  • Leftovers freeze well—seal in freezer bags for up to 1 month.
