CHICKEN FRIED BACON W/CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a frying pan over med-high heat.
• Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl.
• Place flour in another bowl - season it if you'd like (garlic, pepper, salt, lemon, cajun, etc.).
• Double dip - first in the egg mixture, then into the flour and repeat.
• Fry in oil until golden brown.
• Serve with cream gravy for dipping; also good served with steak.
• To make cream gravy:.
• Put drippings or butter in a sauce pan over med-high heat. Whisk in the flour until well blended; cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from heat and gradually add milk whisking constantly; return to heat & whisk until the gravy thickens; Whisk in the cream, salt & pepper.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND CREAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Grab two dishes large enough to accommodate the steak. Combine the milk and egg in one and the flour and season salt in the other. I like to use plates with a turned up rim to keep things on the plate.
• Trim fat from steak and cut it into 4 pieces. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder and a little salt and pepper over the steaks. Rub the seasonings into the meat and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Now pound the meat using a meat tenderizer if possible or anything heavy if not. Pound until meat is thin, about 1/4 inch, yes even if it already tenderized. You want this to melt in your mouth.
• Heat enough shortening or oil in a large skillet- preferably cast iron- until the oil reaches 350 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer drop a little bit of flour in, the oil should sizzle nicely just like for fried chicken.
• Meanwhile, turn the steak in the flour one at a time and shake to remove any extra flour. Now dunk the meat into the egg wash and let the extra drip off. Now put the meat back in the flour and turn it well to coat the whole piece really good. Place the meat on a cooling rack and repeat til each piece is coated.
• When the oil reaches 350 degrees add the steak but do not overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in two batches. Cook until golden brown and then turn to brown other side, again just like frying chicken. Remove to a cooling rack with a plate underneath to catch the oil and keep warm in the oven until all the meat is done.
• Cut the bacon into pieces about an inch in size and add to skillet that still has all the oil and drippings from the steaks. Fry until bacon is cooked and starts to brown but is not really crispy. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of oil and all the drippings you can in the pan for the gravy.
• Stir in the chopped green onion and the reserved bacon pieces. Sprinkle the flour over top and cook until the flour just starts to turn color a little. You want it to stay creamy in color so do not brown it. (I usually just use what is leftover from turning the meat)
• Meanwhile, pour milk in a glass measuring cup and microwave to warm it.
• Whisk milk into the flour in the pan stir often, cooking until gravy is as thick as you like it. Please adjust the amount of milk if you like so that it is the right consistency for you. Add salt coarse ground black pepper to taste.
• To serve: Place one piece of meat on plate and spoon gravy over meat. Add more salt and coarse ground black pepper on top if desired.
• You can garnish with a little extra chopped green onion and crumbled bacon if you wanna git fancy!
• Hope you enjoy!

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BACON AND THYME GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine chicken, buttermilk and 1 teaspoon thyme in glass pie dish; turn chicken to coat well. Mix 3 tablespoons flour and cornmeal in another pie dish or shallow bowl. Add chicken (with some buttermilk still clinging) to cornmeal mixture and turn to coat completely. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Cook bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Add chicken to drippings in skillet. Pan-fry until cooked through and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Using metal spatula, transfer chicken to plates.
• Whisk broth, remaining 2 teaspoons thyme and remaining 2 teaspoons flour in small bowl to blend. Add mixture to skillet and boil until thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes. Whisk in green onions and bacon and bring to boil. Season gravy with salt and pepper. Spoon gravy over chicken and serve.
