I made bacon wrapped chicken breasts last weekend that were quite tasty. I have deep fried bacon in the past. This has me thinking though about making a thick beer batter and coating the bacon first before deep frying…
Hey, can you email me the exact recipe you told me about? You listed about 87 different ingredients (I remember Paprika) but sort of lost the rest in my head somewhere. I think behind the blocked off part of my memory involving the alien abduction.
Well it was one of those make it up as you go along things. But I took boneless, skinless chicken breasts rubbed them with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and cumin, then smeared the tops with spicy mustard. In this case Janet had a jar of Cherry Habanero Mustard that she got in Durango. The brand name is San Juan Mountain. Yummy stuff. Then I wrapped raw strips of bacon tightly around the chicken breasts and baked them in the over at 350 for 45 minutes. Turned the broiler on for five minutes to crisp up the bacon and…
Voila
Succulent, spicy-sweet bacon chicken. The chicken was REALLY juicy. I am sure they would do really well on the grill too. I’ll make this one night next year at Fishbone for dinner. Also gonna bring the deep fryer. Lord only knows what I will produce with that thing!
I am so excited! We have to have a turkey fry night too. We can take like 4 or 5 turkey breasts and inject them with different succulent marinades. In between turkeys we can find other things to fry - like bacon! Our imaginations can just run wild…
But one morning…we are making beignets for breakfast. I will bring the mix and we will whip them up!
Can’t wait!
ooo, I am also bringing a two person inflatible kayak. We can day float the river. You and Pete can put Sam in the middle and paddle between Fishbone and the bridge…or we can tie it to shore with a long line, climb in, drift in the stream and nap

WOW, I’m jealous and drooling… Can we be considered an annex??? :cheers. We will have an extra turkey frying rig handy if needed.
Jess, really, you must stop. Now you’ve gone and made me go all pavlov over beignets and I can already hear the river’s song and we’ve just gone over the halfway hump. I’ll never last.
Of course this goes without saying but have a fabulous time perfecting your recipe in the motherland. I’m jealous but love the vision I have of your mug all jazzed up and covered with powdered sugar.
Did you get to sample James’ sopapillas that year Debbie? Oh… they rocked!
Looks Like our Little Island is gonna be rocking for food stuff
Im Bringing the Grill,Plowdish,Smoker,and the Fryer !!
now to plan the food …lets see Bacon , Bacon , Bacon
there think we are covered !
:cheers
When I was in New Orleans last summer I took myself out for coffee and beignets one afternoon. It was stupid what I did to myself. There was powder sugar everywhere. You know it isn’t a beignet if there isn’t 3 lbs of powdered sugar on it.
I think beignets are probably best eaten naked. Otherwise the oil and sugar just sticks to your clothes in the worst way and you look untidy. They should just let you strip down, eat your beignets naked and then have a hose off station where you can clean up and then get dressed again. I’ll add that to the suggestion box when I return to the Big Easy this spring.
Also, I will bring bacon, backup bacon, and emergency backup bacon. Just in case. Maybe this will be the year that TBF is sponsored by bacon. A bacon booth giving out free bacon samples right next door to the Keen shoes tent. I love Keen shoes too, by the way.
This could explain why those little bits of devilish goodness (hmm…is that a non-sequitur?) haven’t made it further north, out of the Big Easy. Louisiana is a blue state after all…
And how about some gator bites sauteed with bacon? You could even eat them naked. (There back on topic…)
Thank God! Because nothing could be more paralyzing than a bacon shortage. My chest just tensed up typing that…the horror…
I wonder what would happen if we stuff a turkey with bacon before deep frying it…
We should consider setting up a bacon station. A place in TP for all things bacon. Candied bacon, chocolate covered bacon, bacon wrapped dates and scallops and chicken.
We could come up with different activities for bacon - bacon facials wraps, bacon manicures and toe-jobs (first you buff the nail with bacon then paint them to look like bacon).
I don’t know…the possibilities are endless and are distracting me from my job. Ah, but what a distraction…
I know the people who run this company… Maybe I can get a case of bacon shipped from them to us at TBF. http://www.beelerspurepork.com/
Umm, maybe I should let them read this thread… Maybe they want to sponsor our Baconlapalooza!
my goodness, how will I ever catch up on all of this bacon talk!?? thank you all for creating such a ‘rock’ of a topic, it’s a real comfort to know I can always come home to bacon bikini’s and emergency back up bacon when I am feeling overwhelmed by school/job/money/cars/licenses, etc. All hail BACON!
