CHICKEN-FRIED BACON
Yield: 6 servings

Vegetable oil for frying
1 pound thick-cut sliced bacon
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (2 pinches) garlic powder, optional
Salt and pepper

Pour oil into skillet at least an inch deep. Heat to 375 degrees; use a candy thermometer for accuracy. Cut bacon slices in half.

Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. In another bowl, season flour with garlic powder, if desired, and salt and pepper.

Double dip a bacon slice, dunking it first in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture, then back in the egg mixture, then back in the flour. Fry in oil, no more than 4 slices at a time, until golden brown, about 4 or 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

I haven't, I'm a vegetarian. However I've always said the one thing that would lure me back is bacon.
