SWEET CHICKEN BACON WRAPS (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
• Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick inserted on the diagonal starting where bacon seam overlaps.
• Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture.

• Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until bacon is crisp.

BEST BACON APPETIZER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix cream cheese and brown sugar together in a small bowl; spread over bacon slice. Roll up and transfer to the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place large rack on lined baking sheet. Arrange bacon slices in single layer on rack. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over. Bake until bacon is crisp and glazed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and serve.

BACON WRAPPED TATER TOT BOMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside. Working one at a time, wrap each tater tot and cheese square in a piece of bacon. Repeat with remaining tater tots, cheese squares and bacon pieces. Dredge each tater tot in the brown sugar, pressing to coat. Place tater tots seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, using metal tongs to turn at halftime. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

GLAZED BACON APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Place the bacon in a single layer in an ungreased 15x10x1 inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until almost crisp. Drain well. Return the bacon to the pan.
• Combine the sugar, wine, and mustard. Brush the bacon with half of the sugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn bacon; brush with the remaining sugar mixture. Bake 10 minutes or until golden (Watch closely, you don't want them too brown!).
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

OVEN BAKED CANDIED WHISKEY BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F
• Mix together your whiskey with 1 cup brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium/high heat. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place each strip of bacon directly on a baking sheet, allowing a bit of space between strips. Brush the bacon with the whiskey reduction and then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar.
• Place bacon in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, checking after 12 minutes. Ovens vary, so you want to make sure they don't burn. Mine took the full 20 minutes.
• Take bacon out of the oven and allow to sit on a paper towel to cool/drain.
• Serve and enjoy!

CARAMELIZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and place wire rack on top.
• Combine brown sugar and pecans in food processor and pulse until pecans are ground. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Pulse a few times.
• Add maple syrup and pulse until mixed and paste forms.
• Cut bacon slices in half crosswise and place pieces on the rack without touching.
• Get a cup of hot water for dipping the spoon.
• With the back of a spoon or your fingers, spread pecan mixture on each piece of bacon. Cover each piece but don't spread too thickly. Dip spoon in water if difficult to spread.
• Bake 30-40 minutes, until topping is very brown but not burnt. Bacon must be very brown to get crisp as it cools.
• While hot, remove bacon to plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool.
• Serve at room temperature.

CANDIED BACON BITES

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a container so it lays flat. Pour over the cola to cover. Refrigerate and let soak 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place a cooling rack over top and spray with cooking spray.
• Drain the bacon from the cola, place on the cooling rack and pat dry. Combine the brown sugar, paprika and black pepper in a bowl and toss to combine and loosen up the brown sugar. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on both sides of the bacon, pressing and patting so it adheres. Place the slices on the cooling rack; they can be close to one another but shouldn't touch.
• Bake until the bacon is deeply caramelized but still pliable (it will crisp as it cools), about 20 minutes. Flip the bacon occasionally as it cools to crisp on both sides. Let cool completely.
