Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Two 8-ounce cans whole water chestnuts, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
14 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Nonstick cooking spray
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the water chestnuts and soy sauce in a resealable plastic bag and let marinate at room temperature, tossing and massaging the bag occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap each water chestnut in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Set a cooling rack into a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on top. Bake until the bacon renders its fat and is crisp, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup water in a bowl to make a sauce.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully lift the cooling rack off the baking sheet. Drain away any fat in the baking sheet and wipe dry with paper towels. Line the baking sheet with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the bowl with the sauce, swirling to fully coat, then spread out on the baking sheet.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake, tossing every few minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a sticky glaze, about 15 minutes. Immediately transfer the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to a warm serving platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve while hot.

  • Wrap the water chestnuts tightly in bacon. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful. You can use either regular or thick-cut bacon, depending on your preference.
  • Cook the water chestnuts over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bacon from burning. You can cook them in a skillet or on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Make sure the water chestnuts are cooked through before serving. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of a chestnut. If it comes out clean, the chestnut is done.
  • Serve the water chestnuts with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Bacon-wrapped water chestnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
