Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb bacon (I prefer thick cut)
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 ounces Bourbon
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place a wire cooling rack on top.
• Spray the rack with cooking spray.
• In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add the brown sugar, bourbon and maple syrup.
• Cook, stirring often until the mixture is reduced and because a thick syrup/glaze. ~about 15-30 minutes. Watch the heat so it doesn’t burn.
• Place the pieces of bacon on top of the rack trying not to overlap.
• Spoon or brush the syrup on top of the bacon.
• Place in oven and cook for 13 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and flip the bacon.
• Spoon or brush the mixture on top of the bacon.
• Return to the oven and cook for 13 minutes.
• If the bacon is not crispy enough (remember it’ll crisp up as it cools), flip the bacon over, spoon any remaining spice mixture and bake for a few more minutes. OR you can broil for 1 minute each side but watch as this will burn.
• Remove from the oven, allow to cool 1 minute on the rack and then using cooking tongs, and remove the bacon from the rack and plate.
