Chicken Fried Spam

School cooker's Note:

These are Crispy breaded Spam slices.I won third place at our local Spam cookoff with this a few years ago.I do love the SPAM T-Shirt and Spam Spatula I got for it.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 6-8

• 1 (16 ounce) can Spam, sliced about 1/2 inch thick

• salt & pepper
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1/8 cup hot sauce, I use Crystal
• 1/8 cup milk
• 1/4 cup oil (for frying)

Directions:

1. Mix eggs,milk and hot sauce in a bowl.Hot sauce does not maintain it's heat so use how much you want.
2. Put flour salt and pepper in another bowl.
3. Heat oil in a pan to about 300 deg.I use peanut oil.
4. Dip Spam in egg then flour and fry til golden brown.I serve with Chicken gravy and mashed Potatoes.

AWESOME!!! Two of my favorite dishes, combined...fried SPAM & Chicken Fried Steak!!! I used the 25% less sodium SPAM...I find that the regular is too salty & the Lite is tasteless. I floured the SPAM, then into egg wash & back into the flour....worked out fine!!! I thought they were even better when smothered in the chicken gravy! THANKS for sharing!!!

We loved it! The family is a fan of chicken fried steak, so this was a natural extension. Had a can on hand, went together quickly, no complaints! The wife commented it was the most unusual way she had ever eaten Spam.

I really loved this, it was not what I had expected, I did add a few things to the flour mix, I added some onion powder, some paprika & some corn starch ( for some fluffiness), my hubby is not much on spam, and when he doesn't like something he speaks up, his words were it's not bad, that means he likes it, the only problem we had was if we liked it with chicken gravy or with the cheese sauce i make with velveeta, But all in all we both liked it , but I do agree with the double dipping, Thanks for the recipe, we will make this again!
