I follow a basic hushpuppy recipe, then I add lots of onion,
bacon bits and cheese. Short of that or a great dipping sauce of
some sort, there's really no way to make "good" hush puppies.

Chicken fat is much better than bacon fat for that recipe. Fry
in peanut oil if possible. Since they don't fry long, it should
really matter much.
