Chicken Fried Bacon: A crispy, savory Texas delight

Chicken Fried Bacon is a delicious, pan fried Texan snack!

I had Chicken Fried Bacon for the first time at the State Fair of Texas years ago. Since we love chicken frying various proteins, and we make a very popular Chicken Fried Breading, I decided to create my own recipe and video for the Meat Church Congregation. What does it mean when something is chicken-fried? It means it is coasted in seasoned flour and pan-fried to deliciousness.

Sodolak's in Snook, TX is where Chicken Fried Bacon was invented. I drive by there twice a day on my way to and from work. It's an amazing treat.

I grew up eating what my mom called "side pork." It's the meaty part of pork belly. Dipped in milk and floured, salt and pepper, and fried. It tastes like the really good crunchy fat bits next to a pork chop bone.

Just made blt’s with shoulder bacon like this with avocado topper!!! Love the crunch. Reminds me of putting potato chips on my sandwiches as a kid. Thanks dude!

Man your videos are awesome. The shots and professionalism is impeccable. The food you make is so deserving of the high quality of these videos. Keep up the good work bud!

When I was little, my great grandma would bread and fry bacon. For the longest time, she was the only person I knew to do this. I remember it being so good. 😋🥓

If my mother watched this she would have said “that’s livin’ right there!”. Great video, thanks for filming it. You’re definitely expanding my cooking/smoking experiences, especially in the tailgating/appetizer areas like this chicken fried bacon. Lord knows everyone has put out enough brisket, butt and rib videos out there. So expanding into new areas like this is welcome and greatly appreciated! 👍🏻

I recently did a pork loin with the honey hog BBQ rub on my gas grill for Easter and everyone absolutely loved it's flavor and how juicy it turned out. Very glad I made the right choice in rubs.

Hallo Matt, we saw your video yesterday and cooked it already today. Per incident we had a pork belly bought for brining and smoking.
Sensational receipt, thank you very much for this!

I wasn’t sure what to cook for the family this weekend now I know. Thanks, Matt.

Wow! Great idea. The last couple of years to my flour I add plain panko and bread crumbs. The last time I made Chicken Fried Steak I used crushed corn flakes, it was so good
