INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, best quality
- 2½ tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1½ teaspoons chipotle chile powder (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a rack in middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set an oven-proof rack over top.
- Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, syrup, and chipotle powder. Set aside.
- Remove the pan from the oven and flip the bacon slices. Using a small spoon, spread the sugar-syrup mixture evenly over the bacon. Place the pan back in the oven and continue cooking for 20-35 minutes more. The longer you cook, the crispier the bacon and less sticky the coating.
- Transfer to parchment paper covered pan. Let sit 10-15 minutes before eating.
