Directions
1Heat oil in a fryer or heavy-bottomed skillet to 350 degrees.
2Whisk together the eggs and buttermilk, set aside.
3Whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, hot paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
4Place each strip of bacon in the buttermilk and allow to soak for about 5 minutes.
5While the bacon is soaking, combine the ranch seasoning, milk, mayonnaise, jalapeño, green chiles, cilantro, and green onions in the beaker of a blender and puree until smooth to make a green chile ranch, reserve.
6Remove the bacon, one slice at a time, from the buttermilk and dredge in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to adhere the flour to the bacon strips. Repeat until all of the bacon is breaded.
7Fry the bacon in batches, turning once during the cooking, draining on paper towels once golden brown.
8Serve hot with the green chile ranch on the side for dipping.
