Chicken-Fried Bacon
Chicken-Fried Bacon is crispy, savory, and packed with bold, comforting flavor. Thick-cut bacon is lightly seasoned with brown sugar and steak seasoning, then baked until just crisp and caramelized. Each slice is coated in a seasoned batter and fried until golden, creating a crunchy exterior that gives way to rich, smoky bacon inside. Served warm, it’s an indulgent Southern-style bite that’s perfect for dad!
