Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cans sliced water chestnuts, not diced
  • 1 pound bacon, not thick-sliced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2-3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 2-3 dashes Sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste (optional)
  • toothpicks, soaked in water for 30 minutes before using

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Place a wire rack over a sheet pan and set aside.
  • Mix together ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce and Sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Slice bacon into thirds crosswise. Wrap one piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place each wrapped water chestnut onto the wire rack. Repeat until bacon and water chestnuts are gone.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bacon is starting to crisp (around 30 minutes or so). Remove from oven and, using a basting brush, dab sauce all over each appetizer. Return to oven and continue cooking until bacon is crisp and sauce is sticky and thick, another 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. They'll go quickly!
