Chipotle Bacon Candy
Makes 16 slices (approximate)
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 22 minutes
BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Texas Bock like Y'alls Bock.
The toffee and caramel notes of Y'alls Bock mellow out and contrast with this flavorful appetizer.
The sweet, smoky honey-chipotle glaze and crisp, salty bacon come together to make the ultimate snack. The rich malt and caramel notes of Y'alls Bock balance the smokiness of the bacon and contrast the saltiness of the meat and spice of the chipotle peppers.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound thick-cut bacon
⅓ cup honey
1 chipotle pepper
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
STEP 2
Being careful not to overlap, lay bacon slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip slices and continue to bake for another 5 minutes or until cooked fully on both sides. Transfer bacon to a towel-lined plate or cooling rack.
STEP 3
In a food processor, puree honey and chipotle until smooth. Place bacon on a clean baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush chipotle glaze on one side of each slice of bacon and bake for an additional 2 to 5 minutes until glaze begins to bubble but not burn.
STEP 4
Transfer bacon to cooling rack and allow to cool until crisp, about 3 minutes. Serve.
