Bacon Preparation

Hot Honey Sauce

Method

Bacon Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick cut bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.

  3. 3

    Batter the Bacon

    Dip each slice of cooked bacon first into the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Bacon

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered bacon slices in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain the Bacon

    Remove the fried bacon nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Hot Honey Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and red pepper flakes. Stir until heated through and well mixed.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried bacon nuggets before serving.
