Nutrition
The use of good vegetable oil does not contribute to artery-clogging because unsaturated oils help to decrease LDL-bound cholesterol (unless the oil is overheated, oxidized, or generally overused). An egg-white wash and a flour coating would not contribute any appreciable fat. The single "unhealthiest" factor of chicken-fried-bacon is the acrylamides generated from the frying process. The saturated fat from the pork would be second worse, and the severity of impact would depend on the pigs (feed used, drugs, etc.). Other factors would be how the bacon was cured (Heavily smoked? Heavily salted?) and the cooking temperature (higher = worse for you).

The country gravy could be worse for you than the fried bacon, depending on how it was made. Vegetable shortening and other hydrogenated oils are much worse for you than saturated fat, and country gravy is often made with cheap sausage and lots of salt.

 * User:Drmies will be relieved to know that this is a healthy part of a balanced diet. If we get just get him to try running... ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:43, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ha, I hate running! And I LOVE bacon. With waffles, that would be good. Now, higher frying temperatures, doesn't that depend on the smoke point of the oil? Drmies (talk) 22:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

POV
While perhaps not grievous enough for a tag, the quotes in the health benefits section really resembles a fansite/pov. Also, these quotes don't seem notable or important to the article. Is there a reason to not delete them?  Flying  Toaster  21:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, yes, there's a few. First of all, they are published, and therefore notable...(you know I'm sort of kidding here)...and contribute to a balanced point of view, since the naysayers also get their say. I didn't put those cool quotes on there, but I think they look really neat. ;) OK, I've only given you one reason. The other, perhaps, is that they suggest that a dish like this is really an expression of fandom, which it is, spreading almost virally and all, against a current of healthfood. And the "opponents" also get their say in pretty salacious words, so it sort of balances out... I hope you'll continue to think it's not grievous enough! Tell you what, leave it be, and I'll make you some chocolate covered bacon. Drmies (talk) 23:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think they need to be integrated into the text. They don't really need to be block quotes. But I agree with Drmies that they add a Je ne sais qua to the article. Pardon my French. It is a food article so I think they also serve to provide a bit of a description of what the food is like. It's definitely not a strong case. But we're talking chocolate covered bacon here, so I think we can include some color to grease things along and keep the article moving... ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, ahem, 'je ne sais quoi.' Hate to be a chocolate covered bacon dick here, haha. I made them blockquotes--no, regular quotes, I don't know, I always get them wrong. Then someone came along and made them the cool quotes with the big quotation marks. Hey Child, did you see the comment in the article about the internet popularity thing? It's a good point--maybe the remark needs to be moved, maybe it needs to be integrated into a short paragraph about this sort of viral dispersion. Drmies (talk) 02:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what comment you're talking about, but it sounds fine to me. Have you seen the latest addition of a NAYSAYER's comment on the bacon explosion? Shocking stuff. Says the bacon comes out undercooked, the sauce is mismatched with the spicey sausage, and it doesn't end there. It's a tough world out there for novelty bacon dishes. I cringe to think what the Turducken has been through. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This one. Yes, I saw the bacon vandalism...how dare they? Never let the truth stand in the way of a good bacon dish, I say! Drmies (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Any relation to chicken bacon?
I came here because I searched Wikipedia for chicken bacon after having a conversation with someone who had never heard of it. I found no such article. Simply put, I come from Canada, and here, we have an actual product, chicken bacon; that is, bacon strips made of chicken.

So, sorry if I sound stupid, but: Is the subject of this article related to chicken bacon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.27.155.11 (talk) 01:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late response: no, it had nothing to do with that at all. "Chicken frying" is a specific (Southern) process of battering and frying. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:44, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
