SPICY SWEET BOURBON BACON | ALL AMERICAN COOKING #shorts #cooking #bacon #recipe

So many ways to cook bacon, and this is another one of my favorites!!

I almost always prefer cooking bacon on a rack on a foil lined sheet tray in the oven. More even cooking, less greasy, bacon stays straight and doesn’t curl up.

With this recipe, the baking method is really the only way to do it!

Mixing light brown sugar with spicy chili-infused honey and bourbon with a hint of garlic and then brushing that mixture on the bacon does something magical! Finishing it off with some freshly ground tricolored pepper just enhances this deliciousness!

I’ve tried doing this at a lower temperature, but the sugars still caramelized and got very dark before the bacon was cooked to my liking. It’s nearly impossible to get the bacon super crispy with this method, but slightly chewy works just fine because this flavor combination is insane!!

I also tried painting both side of the bacon with the magic mixture, but the bacon stuck to the rack in such a way it was nearly impossible to pull off a whole slice in one piece. So paint it thick on one side, and you’ll get all the flavor out of this recipe without the bacon sticking!

Warning - it will likely smell like it’s burning. That’s just the excess sugar and honey dripping onto the pan beneath. Hence the foil lining for easier cleanup.

Try this at home! Great by itself or on an everything bagel with egg, cheese, and caramelized onions or shallots! Or on a burger with grilled pineapple, fire roasted jalapeños, and gruyere cheese! Don’t Eat Boring Food!!
