3570. SRIRACHA SPICED BACON

1 lb thick cut bacon
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1-2 teaspoons sriracha chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon water (optional)

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Combine brown sugar, Sriracha sauce and cinnamon in a bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray. Place the pieces of bacon on top of the rack trying not to overlap. Microwave the spice mixture for 15-20 seconds until it’s spreadable. Spoon or brush the mixture on top of the bacon. Place in oven and cook for 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the bacon. Reheat the spice mixture. If necessary add the water to help make it spreadable. Spoon or brush the mixture on top of the bacon. Return to the oven and cook for 13 minutes. If the bacon is not crispy enough (remember it’ll crisp up as it cools), flip the bacon over, spoon any remaining spice mixture and bake for a few more minutes. OR you can broil for 1 minute each side but watch as this will burn. Remove from the oven, allow to cool 1 minute on the rack and then using cooking tongs, remove the bacon from the rack and plate.
