Ingredients

8 rashers (slices) of bacon
3 pounds frying chicken, cut into serving pieces
salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cup light cream
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons brandy

Instructions

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.

My Mom was from the south, and taught me so save bacon drippings for fried chicken. I use half crisco and half bacon fat for frying, then put the chicken in a 300 degree oven. The gravy is the same except for the brandy.

I would like to know how you serve the bacon you are keeping warm. I save my bacon grease so wouldn't need to cook bacon if it isn't used in the recipe. Thanks.
