Cook as Usual
Pan-Frying? Start in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp, flipping as needed.
Oven-Baking? Lay bacon on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until perfectly crispy.
Drain & Enjoy
Place cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra grease.
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, mix a dash of black pepper, smoked paprika, or chili powder into the flour.
Use thick-cut bacon for that amazing crunch-meets-chew balance.
Want even crispier edges? Try a wire rack on your baking sheet to let heat circulate evenly.
Final Thoughts
It’s amazing how something so simple can make such a big difference. That light dusting of flour adds just the right crunch without changing the classic bacon flavor we all know and love.
Once you try this trick, you might never go back. So go ahead—upgrade your bacon game and prepare to wow your tastebuds.
