Chicken Fried Bacon

Step 2: Preheat the convection oven to 425°F.

Step 3: Lay half the Wright® Brand Naturally Hickory Smoked Extra Thick Sliced Bacon slices flat on a sheet pan in a single layer, then cook for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned but still pliable.

Step 4: Let bacon drain on a baking rack or paper towels. Any residual grease will cause the breading to coat incorrectly.

Step 5: Repeat the process with as much bacon as you would like.

Step 6: Preheat fryer to 350°F OR pour canola oil into a pot to a depth of about 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 350°F.

Step 7: Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 8: Using a rubber spatula, fold one-quarter of the flour, then one-quarter of the club soda, at a time into the whites, folding thoroughly after each addition until batter is smooth.

Step 9: Working in batches, dip bacon into batter, then deep-fry, turning once, until bacon is golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes per batch.

Step 10: Drain on a wire rack. Season to taste with salt and serve immediately.

Step 11: Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
