Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Country Fried Bacon.
Step 1
Begin by slicing the bacon strips in half and arranging them in a shallow dish, creating a star pattern with the pieces.
Step 2
Pour half-and-half cream over the bacon, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 3
Let the bacon soak for a minimum of 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours.
Step 4
This soaking not only tenderizes the bacon but also amplifies its flavor and minimizes curling during frying.
Step 5
In a separate shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, black pepper, and sugar, ensuring the seasonings are evenly blended.
Step 6
Once the bacon has soaked, gently shake off any excess cream and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing lightly for an even coating.
Step 7
Place the coated bacon on a plate, using wax paper between layers if desired to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 9
Fry the bacon in batches, cooking each piece for 2 to 3 minutes or until it reaches your preferred crispness.
Step 10
Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful crunch and rich flavor of your perfectly fried bacon!.
