I love fried food. I also love bacon. So the combination of fried and bacon intrigued me. So today I created a recipe for chicken fried bacon with gravy. Yep, it wasn’t unhealthy enough.
Chicken fried bacon was probably the most glorious thing that I have ever eaten.
Frying the Bacon
I tried to make these with raw bacon and with partially cooked bacon. I found that partially cooked bacon worked the best. Since I wanted the bacon perfectly flat I used the microwave to partially cook the bacon. Place 4-6 strips of bacon on a paper towel lined plate. Then top with a nother piece of paper towel. Place in the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes, remove and let cool.
Next dredge the cooled bacon in seasoned flour.
Then dredge it in an egg wash. To make the egg wash, mix two eggs with a 1/4 cup cream and a couple dashes of hot sauce.
Now dredge the egg covered bacon in crushed saltine crackers.
Place into a medium/high heat heavy bottom pan that is coated with vegetable oil.
Fry for about 2-4 minutes on each side. Cook until the bacon is golden brown on each side. Remove from the pan and let drain on a paper towel.
To make the gravy melt 4tbs of butter in a pan and whisk in 3tbs of flour. Cook until the flour turns slighly brown.
Then add 1cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of cream, 1 tbs of worcestershire, a dash of hot sauce and salt and pepper.
Heat until boiling and then reduce. Stirring frequently. Once it starts to thicken, remove from the heat and let sit for a couple of minutes.
Serve the chicken fried bacon with the gravy for a heart stopping meal that is amazing.
This was the greatest appetizer/meal that I have ever had. The chicken fried bacon with the gravy is unbelievably good.
There is nothing like dipping fried fat into more fat.

wow, you have reached a whole new level with this one
Good lord man.
I hope you dialed 91 on your cell phone before you ate this...
Actually I took a low dose of aspirin before eating it so that my blood would be thinner. I should have had the paramedics there. Haha...
My eye lit up and my taste buds did a little jig!
Put more pork on my fork. Oh I am now following you on Twitter!!!
Oh my God. I just gained 500 pounds looking at this. If fried bacon wasn't enough, you had to go and make a gravy to dip it in. Looks absolutely wonderful.
No offence but that looks gross. I'm not a vegan or anything but there is a line and it was crossed by you quite some time ago. It seems that you just like fat for fat's sake.
wow. that is most intense; it looks good, crazy good-crazy because just looking at it makes my heart cringe in fear of having a myocardial infarction, and good because i bet it is yummy :P
I do believe I feel my arteries clogging as I read this. Looks friggin awesome!
Thanks for all of the comments. I will be honest. I thought it was overkill when I made it too. It was so tasty, but so bad for you too. It is definitely a once a year recipe.
That looks delicious - I love bacon and I love chicken fried anything. I can't believe I have never seen this before.
mmm...Bacon...this looks awesome. Well done!
You didn't create this.

...just sayin'.
I know I didn't create the chicken fried bacon. It is just my take on it. After a few readers requested it, I figured I would give it a go.
