Ingredients

  • 1 pound of thick-cut bacon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Preheat your deep fryer or a large pot with vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another shallow dish, place the beaten eggs.
  4. In a third shallow dish, spread out the bread crumbs.
  5. Take each slice of bacon and dip it into the flour mixture, making sure it is well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  6. Next, dip the bacon into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  7. Finally, coat the bacon with the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the bacon.
  8. Repeat the process for all slices of bacon.
  9. Once the oil is heated, carefully add a few slices of bacon at a time, ensuring they do not overlap.
  10. Fry the bacon for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  11. Using tongs, carefully remove the fried bacon from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  12. Repeat the frying process with the remaining bacon slices.
  13. Serve the Crispy Deep Fried Bacon hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
