CHICKEN FRIED BACON

[BABSY]

This is what the State Fair of Texas is having this year.
They take raw bacon and dip it in flour and then dip it in egg and milk and then dip it back in the flour and deep fry it. They are charging 5 dollars for a basket with just a few pieces. I wonder if we can make it with almond flour or parmesan cheese or both mixed together. Any ideas?

I am horrified at how freakin' good that sounds to me!!! LOL. I hope some adventurous soul tries to make it as you suggested.

Try it with crushed pork rinds... I've fried chicken that way.
Bacon coated in pork rinds and deep fried sounds pork-tastic!!!!

I love bacon any way I can get it though -- so much so that I dressed as bacon for Halloween last year!!

is it possible to deep fry anything in pulverized bacon rinds? how come there are no beef rinds, sheep rinds or fish rinds? Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI

I loved that costume... since I've moved to a new city and I still have it, I may dress as bacon again this year... no one here has seen it before. But let me tell you, I went on a pub crawl last year dressed as bacon and there's nothing like a bunch of drunks yelling "BACON!" at you as you walk into a bar...lol

Here's a pic:

Okay...the bacon costume is, like, the best thing EVER.

That picture is adorable! You need an egg or two to go with that bacon!

[BABSY]

if you wouldnt have said it was bacon, I wouldnt have know what you were dressed as

Let me think..LOL
I think pork skin is thinner? (so gross to think about)
And.. beef rinds .. well, thats your jacket or boots in your closet..LOL
Fish rinds... you can get that in Sushi places... salmon skin rolls.
And there are some other things they make with it too...

Funny.

Love it!

[auntiesocial]

Yes, I made the bacon costume. I tried to convince my boyfriend that he needed to be eggs, or at the very least, a stack of pancakes, but he's shy so he wasn't havin' it.

And some people thought I was Gumby!! I can see the resemblance except for the fact that, you know, Gumby is green...lol

[SashimiMark]

Okay, more details. Do you have instructions on how to make your own bacon costume?

[DiSa]

I read "chicken fried bacon" and thought,,,mmmm chicken wrapped in bacon and fried! LOL

NO FLOUR!!!

[DorianH]

I saw the title and figured Mark was in here.............oh there he is LOL

[SashimiMark]

I'm more interested in the costume than the chicken fried bacon.

[DorianH]

LOL.....yeah that is really cute!!

Hey- I want to make a little one for my son, my daughter can be a tomato and hubby and I will be toast and we'll be a BLT!! Not low carb but definitely cute!

here you go Mark: How to Meat People and Be Loved: The Bacon Costume Junkyard Clubhouse

[SashimiMark]

Oh man, looks complicated. I'm not the least bit crafty.

[Mule_Freak]

What about dredging it in Carbquik or that Carbalose Flour? I would think that Parmasan cheese w/salty bacon would be asking for major water bloat, but dag it sounds YUM

[auntiesocial]

Yup, I got my costume from that link... I bought two sheets of 6'X2' foam at the craft store, trimmed it (I'm really short!), cut a hole in one for the face, and painted it. I used velcro to keep the sides together.

[miss sparky]

Oh brilliant....costumes and bacon are what I'm about!!!!!
I'm a costumier!
And I've got some big sheets of foam somewhere...

Mark, if you weren't so far away.....

[miss sparky]

Oh I've just had my dinner but now I'm craving bacon....gonna have to make some

Oh and Auntie social....love ur avi!!!!!

Babsy, I must admit, that sounds better than a deep fried twinkie!
Deep fried foods were my fat butt food of choice

[SashimiMark]

Ooh, you were able to keep it together with just velcro? That doesn't sound too bad. I may have to give this more thought. I haven't dressed up for halloween since I was a teen.

Fawn, I still haven't used the deep fryer my best friend got me for my birthday last month, in spite of ordering some grass-fed beef tallow for it. I'm thinking deep fried green beans. Maybe once it gets colder.

I glued the edges together above the shoulders, and added velcro to each side under the arms. It was starting to fall apart by the time Halloween week was over last year, but it made it through work, a pub crawl, and two costume contests. If I wear it again this year, I'll have to re-glue the velcro.
