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.
