Chicken Fried Bacon

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.

Making the Gravy

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.
