Equipment

  • Dutch Oven (or deep fryer)
  • food thermometer
  • Backing Rack (or cooling rack)

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Thick Cut Bacon
  • 2 Large Tomatoes Sliced
  • Green Leaf Lettuce
  • 10 Fresh White Bread Slices

Chiptole Mayo

  • 1/2 Cup Mayo
  • 2 Chipotle Pepper Minced
  • 2 Tbsp Adobo Sauce

Coating

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/4 Cup Milk
  • 2 Quarts Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Chiptole Mayo

  • In a small bowl mix the mayo, adobo sauce, and minced chipotle peppers until combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the sandwiches.

Coating and Assemblying

  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs and milk. In another large bowl add the flour, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix until combined.
  • Cut each strip of bacon in half. Work with 1 piece of bacon at a time place it in the flour mixture, turn to coat. Then, place the bacon into the egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat. Place the bacon on a plate and repeat steps with the remaining pieces.
  • Use a dutch oven or a deep pot filled with 2 inches of oil (about 4 cups). Preheat the oil to 375 degrees cook the coated bacon for 4-5 minutes. Lay the cooked bacon on a cookie sheet lined with a paper towel to catch any excess oil.
  • Toast the bread and spread the chipotle mayo on both slices. On one slice of bread, add the lettuce, tomato, and a few pieces of bacon. Top with the other slice cut it in half and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe only takes about 30 minutes to make 5 delicious sandwiches.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pot or the temperature will get too low and the bacon won’t get crispy.
  • Cook the bacon on the first side for 3 minutes, turn and cook for another 1-2 minutes. 
  • The bacon only curled a little on the ends, so this is perfect to lay on a sandwich.
  • To keep the bacon hot while you are cooking the rest just preheat the oven to 275 degrees. This will keep the bacon crispy and won't overcook it. 
  • Reheat the cooked bacon in an air fryer at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes. Flip halfway.
