Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with foil or parchment paper. Then set a wire baking rack on each sheet.
• Mix the brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Cut the bacon into squares and toss it in the bourbon mixture. Mix well to coat.
• Place the bacon squares on the wire racks. Brush additional bourbon mixture over the bacon, saving the rest for later. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until the bacon is brick-red and crisp. Brush the bacon with the remaining bourbon glaze halfway through baking. (Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon.)
• The bacon will still be a little flexible while it's hot, but should quickly cool into dry pieces that are crisp on both sides. You can take a piece out of the oven and cool it to test for doneness. Cool the bacon to room temperature, then serve or package for gifts! (Crisp dry Pig Candy can sit out at room temperature for up to 3 days. But feel free to keep it in the refrigerator, just to be safe.)

BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine bourbon, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Use to baste meat, especially chicken or salmon, while cooking.

BOURBON MAPLE CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange bacon on a broiler pan so that the pieces don't touch or overlap. Brush healthy amounts of bourbon and maple syrup on the first side of each piece of bacon. Generously sprinkle on and pat down brown sugar into each piece. Turn bacon over and repeat this process on the other side. Lightly sprinkle the second side with red pepper flakes. Combine any leftover bourbon, syrup, and brown sugar to baste the bacon with as it cooks. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, turning the bacon over after the first 10-15 minutes and basting with your bourbon/syrup mixture. Remove the bacon from the oven when the candied coating becomes shiny and the bacon has turned a reddish brown color. Remove bacon from the broiler pan almost immediately and cool on a cooling rack. Adjust the bacon after 5 minutes or so until completely cooled to keep the candy coating from setting up and sticking to the rack.
