Steps:
- Slice the bacon strips in half. It is very important to get thin-cut bacon for this recipe, as thick bacon overwhelms the oysters. Likewise, it is important to get small oysters-otherwise, they become too large a mouthful.
- Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each oyster and secure with a toothpick. Arrange on a broiling pan or get a grill ready.
- Place the bacon-wrapped oysters under the broiler until they're crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- How long this will take on your grill depends on the heat; but I rarely do this on the grill, as the bacon fat falls through the grate and causes flare-ups. Then again, you do get a smoky flavor with real fire...
- Take the oysters out and turn them over. Return to the broiler and crisp the other side. This should take about 2 to 4 minutes.
- Serve family-style on a big platter. Don't hit them with lemon juice until right before you serve them, otherwise it ruins the crispiness of the bacon.
- Traditionally, this appetizer is served on buttered toast points, so if you're a stickler for tradition, that's the way to go.

ANGELS ON HORSEBACK
I first encountered Angels on horseback at the Santa Fe restaraunt in McAllen, Texas. I can't quite place what was in the cocktail sauce served with these but I came up with something that goes equally well with them. The sauce was something like a spicy Chinese Hot & Sour sauce. In the sauce I quote below, I always add an extra kick with Louisiana Hot Sauce! The water chestnuts give a little extra crunch to the bite.

Tips:
- Select plump, large dates. This will ensure that they can be easily stuffed with the bacon and cheese.
- Use a sharp knife to make a slit in the dates. This will help prevent the dates from tearing when you stuff them.
- Use your favorite type of cheese. Cream cheese, blue cheese, and goat cheese are all popular choices for stuffing dates.
- Wrap the dates in bacon tightly. This will help keep the filling inside the dates while they are cooking.
- Cook the dates until the bacon is crispy. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the dates warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
Conclusion:
Angels on horseback are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your guests!
