Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 4 cups peanut oil 1 pound thick-cut bacon 1 tablespoon multi-purpose seasoning blend, plus more as needed 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon paprika 2 large eggs 1/4 cup beer or water 2 teaspoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons ranch or jalapeno ranch dressing Directions Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and set a wire rack inside. Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Meanwhile, cut bacon in half crosswise and season evenly on both sides with multi-purpose seasoning. Whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow bowl. Alternatively, season flour with additional multi-purpose seasoning blend. Whisk eggs, beer, and syrup together in a separate shallow bowl. Coat each piece of bacon lightly in seasoned flour. Then coat in egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat once more in flour mixture; set aside until all pieces are coated and oil is hot. Working a few pieces at a time, fry each piece in hot oil, flipping occasionally, until crispy golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Maintain the oil temperature between 330 and 350 degrees F (165 to 175 degrees C) while cooking. Drain bacon on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with remaining bacon. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios From the Editor: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking.
