Drying Bacon for Smothered Chicken Casserole Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is David for Expert Village today we are going to make smothered chicken with maque choux casserole. Now we have rendered the bacon, we have some of the fat. This is going to add tremendous flavor to it. What you want to do is use either a slotted spatula which I have here or a slotted spoon so you can leave the oil right in the pan all that render bacon. We would be using this later so go ahead and take it and put it on a paper towel. It would drain out there. You see a lot of the fat is already here. Take that out just like that. Then we are going to need a little bit of oil in here this just added a tremendous amount of flavor to the bacon. We still need some more oil in here for browning the chicken. So it is not going to be like a deep fry we are just going to be browning. So go ahead and add some vegetable oil to that to your pan. Bring up your temperature while we prepare our chicken. "
