These Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wraps are a delightful appetizer that combines the savory taste of bacon with a sweet and tangy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the bacon.
Cut each slice of bacon into thirds.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and uniform pieces.
Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly to hold the water chestnut securely.
Arrange the wrapped water chestnuts in a baking dish.
Leave a little space between each wrap for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chili sauce, mayonnaise, and brown sugar.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Pour the glaze over the bacon wraps, ensuring each is coated.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the glaze over the wraps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
Check halfway through and rotate the dish for even cooking.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wraps.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
