Candied Bourbon Bacon Food

CANDIED BOURBON BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and a place wire rack over the baking sheet.
• Arrange the bacon strips on the rack, making sure that the strips don't overlap and there is some space between the strips.
• Use a silicone pastry brush to liberally slather the bourbon on both sides of the bacon.
• Sprinkle each slice of bacon with 1 heaping teaspoon of the brown sugar and spread out all over each strip.
• Sprinkle the strips lightly with the black pepper.
• Bake the bacon in the preheated oven until the sugar is melted and the strips are a deep golden brown in color - 18-25 minutes. Check the bacon often towards the end of cooking because it will burn quickly.
• Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool on the rack. It will crisp as it cools.
• When cool enough to handle, serve, and eat while warm.

HONEY-BOURBON GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the honey and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Brush with some of the honey-bourbon syrup. Continue roasting until deeply caramelized and crispy, another 10 to 15 minutes--the bacon will really crisp as it cools. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve.
