Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 1-pound piece slab bacon (not pre-sliced)
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Cut bacon lengthwise into nine 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack into the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the sugar, cayenne, paprika, 2 teaspoons pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pie dish. Pour 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into a small bowl.
  • Brush both sides of each slice of bacon with maple syrup. Press the bacon, one slice at a time, into the brown sugar mixture to coat. Arrange on the greased wire rack. Sprinkle the bacon with the leftover brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until the bacon is cooked and the sugar is dark and caramelized, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely. (Bacon can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small bowl. Drizzle the bacon with the red pepper-maple syrup or serve on the side for dipping.

SWEET & SPICY BACON CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by hcardall

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken breasts cut in thirds, about 12 pieces
12 bacon slices
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons garlic powder, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder, plus more to taste
1 cup brown sugar
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut each breast into 3 pieces, season the chicken with the spices, salt, and black pepper. Wrap a bacon slice around each piece of chicken. Roll in brown sugar. Place into an ovenproof dish greased with the olive oil. Bake at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and bacon is brown and crispy. Delicious served with mashed potatoes with some of the gravy from the chicken drizzled on top.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon with good marbling for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a wire rack: Placing the bacon on a wire rack allows the air to circulate and helps the bacon cook evenly.
  • Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the bacon. This helps the bacon cook evenly and prevents it from steaming.
  • Don't crowd the pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the bacon strips so that they can cook properly.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking: This ensures that the bacon cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels: After baking, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease.
  • Enjoy the bacon immediately or store it for later: Cooked bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
