This recipe is slightly different from the ones already posted here on 'Zaar. It was given to me by a very dear friend who is no longer with us. Everytime I make it, I think of her. Thanks, Diane. NOTE: The size can for the water chestnuts is estimated (I don't have any in my cupboard today).

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 15 bacon wrapped water chestnuts, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (whole not sliced)
1/2 lb bacon
1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (I always use Open Pit Original)
cooking spray
toothpick

Steps:

  • Open can of water chestnuts and drain. Place the water chestnuts on paper towel and let air dry. If you're in a hurry, you may also pat them dry with paper towel.
  • Cut each strip of bacon in thirds.
  • Wrap bacon around water chestnut and secure with toothpick. Repeat until all are wrapped.
  • Place bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on a cookie sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray or lined with tin foil for easy clean up. If using tin foil, go ahead and spray the tin foil with cooking spray, as well.
  • Brush each bacon-wrapped water chestnut with your favorite barbeque sauce. **OR** If you are lazy, like me, dump the barbeque sauce into a bowl and just dip each bacon wrapped water chestnut into the barbeque sauce and shake off excess.
  • Place on top rack in oven under the broiler. Broil for about 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and turn them all over. Brush again with barbeque sauce, if desired. Place under the broiler again for about another 10 minutes. You should watch these pretty closely to be sure not to burn. You are looking to cook the bacon through until it crisps.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh water chestnuts, firm dates, and flavorful bacon for the best results.
  • Prep the water chestnuts and dates properly: Slice the water chestnuts thinly and remove the pits from the dates to ensure even cooking and prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • Wrap the bacon tightly: Secure the bacon around the filling firmly to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.
  • Use toothpicks wisely: Insert toothpicks carefully to hold the bacon-wrapped rumaki together without piercing the filling, as this can cause the filling to leak out.
