How To Make Chicken Fried Bacon

Step 7 Frying the Bacon

Now here comes the fun part! If you have a thermometer, the oil will be ready to use at 375 degrees. If you don't have one, sprinkle a litte flour into the oil. If it starts to fry, the oil is ready to use. With a pair of kitchen tongs, NOT your fingers, drop in two or three pieces of bacon into the oil. If you overload the pan, the oil temperature will plummet and the oil will not be hot enough to fry. After about 30 seconds, flip the bacon strips over so that the other side gets cooked. The cooking process happens really quickly, about one to 1 1/2 minutes. You will know when the bacon is done when both sides of the coating turn a golden brown. Remove the bacon and place on a plate covered with a few paper towels.
