Ingredients:

• 1 pound thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and then stir in the buttermilk

Dip each strip of bacon into the flour mixture, coating it evenly

Shake off any excess flour

Next, dip the bacon into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off

Dip the bacon back into the flour mixture for a second coating, pressing the flour mixture onto the bacon strips

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F 175C

Carefully place the coated bacon strips into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bacon from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil

Serve the chicken fried bacon hot and enjoy
