CURLY CANDIED BACON SKEWERS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Cut the bacon slices in half. Fold each half of the bacon in an "S" pattern upon itself a few times and thread each one onto a wooden skewer.
- Place the bacon skewers on the prepared wire rack.
- Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture on the bacon skewers.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the skewers and sprinkle on some more of the sugar mixture. Cook for 20 minutes more.
- Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and flip them over. Taste one skewer. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining spice mixture on the bacon skewers.
- Serve the skewers just as they are or add on garnishes, such as olives and cherry tomatoes, before popping them in your cocktail!
BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a lipped baking pan with foil (it's important that it is lipped) and put a metal rack on top if using one.
- n a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.
- Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto the skewers. Set the bacon skewers evenly onto the foiled lined baking sheet. Take a spoon, fork or basting brush and spread a generous amount of the glaze on each side of the bacon skewers. Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is covered.
- Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until your bacon is cooked to your liking. 20 minutes should get them nice and crisped up.
- Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Tips:
- Choose thick-cut bacon: This will help the bacon stay juicy and flavorful while cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bacon: This will help prevent the bacon from tearing.
- Marinate the bacon in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture for at least 30 minutes: This will help the bacon absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Preheat your grill or oven to the desired temperature before cooking the bacon: This will help the bacon cook evenly.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not overcooked: Overcooked bacon will be tough and chewy.
- Serve the bacon skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Bacon skewers are best enjoyed hot off the grill or out of the oven.
