Battered and fried bacon that is even better after cooking in the oven for 7 minutes. My husband and I saw the idea of fried bacon on the travel channel where they just battered and fried it and we decided to make it. It was so good. But then we cooked in the oven and it was even better. Serve with white gravy and it is a heart attack waiting to happen but tastes so good!

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound thick sliced bacon
1 ½ cups half-and-half cream
2 cups flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ pinch white sugar
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon strips in half, and place into a shallow dish with the half-and-half, crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. Soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying, tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor.
  • Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. When the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half-and-half, and shake off the excess. Press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. If desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is covered. However, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Thick-cut bacon is best for deep frying, as it will hold up better and produce a crispier result.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to prevent the oil from splattering and will also help to maintain a more even cooking temperature.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for deep frying bacon is between 350°F and 375°F. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure that the oil is at the right temperature before adding the bacon.
  • Fry the bacon in batches: Do not overcrowd the pot or Dutch oven, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the bacon will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels: Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the oil and drain it on paper towels to remove any excess grease.
  • Season the bacon: While the bacon is still hot, season it with your favorite seasonings. Some popular choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Conclusion:

Crispy deep-fried bacon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a topping for other dishes. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can easily make crispy deep-fried bacon at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give crispy deep-fried bacon a try. You won't be disappointed!
