For best results, use high-quality, thick-cut bacon. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper in the flour mixture to your preference. Monitor the oil temperature closely to prevent burning. If the oil gets too hot, reduce the heat. Serve immediately with a side of creamy white gravy for a truly indulgent experience. The oven baking step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness and removing excess grease.

03
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
