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.
