Chicken Fried Bacon

Chicken Fried Bacon is a delicious, pan fried Texan snack!

I had Chicken Fried Bacon for the first time at the State Fair of Texas years ago. Since we love chicken frying various proteins, and we make a very popular Chicken Fried Breading, I decided to create my own recipe and video for the Meat Church Congregation. What does it mean when something is chicken-fried? It means it is coasted in seasoned flour and pan-fried to deliciousness. We hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 package bacon, thick cut
• Meat Church BLANCO seasoning for the Bacon (sub your fav seasoning)

Tools

Breading - Add Meat Church Chicken Fried Breading to a 2nd bowl. Add 2T Meat Church Holy Voodoo. Stir to combine.

Batter the bacon
Cut the bacon in half to make it easier to fry.

Lightly season the bacon on both sides with BLANCO.

Double dredge the bacon by coating the bacon in the chicken fried steak breading. Then dip it in egg wash. Re-coat the bacon thoroughly in the breading again. 

Cook the bacon
Carefully place the steak in the hot oil. Cook 2-3 minutes.

Flip the bacon and repeat on the other side until golden brown. 

Remove the bacon from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain and cool.
