Spicy Ketchup Glazed Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts Recipes

SPICY BACON-WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut each strip of bacon in half. Wrap one strip around one water chestnut. Secure with a wooden toothpick. Place in shallow baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
• While the wraps are baking, in a small mixing bowl combine brown sugar, mayonnaise, and chili sauce to make barbecue sauce. After the wraps have finished baking, transfer them (removing them from the grease) to a second shallow baking dish. Pour the sauce over the wraps.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 15 additional minutes, or until bacon is crispy. Serve hot out of dish with toothpicks.

BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS III

• Bake the water chestnut wraps for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from water chestnut wraps from the oven and drain some of the grease out of the pan. Pour the sauce over the wraps.
• Bake for 30 to 35 more minutes.

SPICY BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS

Steps:

• Place water chestnuts in medium bowl and add soy sauce. Marinate while preparing bacon. Pre-heat oven to 350.
• Pre-cook bacon in microwave. On a dinner plate place 5 slices on 2 paper towels. Place 2 more paper towels on top and add another 5 slices of bacon. Cover with 2 more paper towels and cook on high for 3/12 to 4 minutes. Repeat process until you have precooked all bacon. This partially cooks the bacon as well as releasing much of the grease before wrapping. You may be able to do more layers at one time but I was following a Rachel Ray recipe for microwave bacon and was afraid to deviate.
• Stack bacon slices and cut in half. Wrap each half around a water chestnut and secure with toothpick. After wrapping place in an ungreased 9 x 13 glass or ceramic baking dish. (You will need 2 baking dishes.)
• In another medium bowl whisk together mayo, brown sugar, chili sauce, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper until blended.
• Pour evenly over the wrapped chestnuts and place in oven for 30-35 minutes. If bacon does not look quite done enough switch the oven to broil for about 5 minutes. (I used a bottle with a nozzle top...like a hair color bottle to drizzle sauce. It worked great!)
• Remove from oven and transfer them to a pretty serving platter...but they won't be there long. :)
