Bacon-Fried Chicken

Cooking Instructions

This is a recipe my father often made.

Cook the bacon till it is done to your taste. Transfer to absorbent paper and keep it warm. Flour the chicken pieces and brown them well in the bacon fat over brisk heat, adding the white meat last. Season to taste and reduce the heat to simmer. Continue cooking, turning occasionally, till the chicken is tender. Transfer to a hot platter. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat and add the flour. Blend well and cook about 3 minutes. Gradually stir in the cream and continue stirring till it is nicely thickened. Season well with pepper and a dash of Tabasco and add the brandy. Let it cook up for a moment and serve with the chicken. Also serve little new potatoes and salad.
