Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thick cut sliced bacon (about 12 pieces)
3/4 cup clover honey
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
3/4 cup sorghum syrup
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the red chile-honey glaze: Lay the bacon in a single layer on a sheet pan, keeping space in between each slice. Place bacon in pan and bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. While the bacon is cooking, whisk together the clover honey and ancho chile powder in a medium bowl until smooth. Remove the bacon from the oven, using mitts, and carefully drain the fat, tipping the pan, into a medium bowl. Blot the top of the bacon with a few paper towels. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on it on a cooling rack and immediately brush each slice with the glaze.
  • For the sorghum glaze: Lay the bacon in a single layer on a sheet pan, keeping space in between each slice. Place bacon in pan and bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven, using mitts, and carefully drain the fat, tipping the pan, into a medium bowl. Blot the top of the bacon with a few paper towels. Place the sheet pan with the bacon on it on a cooling rack and immediately brush each slice with the sorghum syrup.
  • For the brown sugar-pecan glaze: Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Lay the bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet, keeping space in between each slice. Divide the brown sugar evenly over the top of each slice of bacon and bake until bacon is golden brown and almost crispy, about 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the finely chopped pecans, return to the oven and continue baking until pecans are toasted and bacon is crispy, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
  • Arrange bacon slices in 1 layer (not overlapping) on racks of 2 large broiler pans (if you only have one, use a large rectangular metal rack set inside a large baking pan for the second). Bake until fat is rendered but bacon isn't crisp, about 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Arrange all of bacon in 1 layer on rack of 1 broiler pan. Brush top with syrup and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until bacon is crisp and deep golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, glazed side up, on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon with good marbling for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a Combination of Brown Sugar and Maple Syrup: This creates a sweet and savory glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
  • Add a Touch of Black Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle kick of spice that complements the sweetness of the glaze.
  • Bake Until Crispy: Cook the bacon in the oven until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  • Watch the Bacon Closely: Keep an eye on the bacon as it bakes to prevent burning.
  • Use a Wire Rack: Place the bacon on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow the grease to drip away.
  • Let the Bacon Cool: Allow the bacon to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
