Ingredients (easy to double or triple depending on crowd and math ability)
6 slices of bacon
3 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp bourbon
Garlic salt
Black pepper
Directions for bacon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place bacon on it, being careful not to overlap pieces. (hint: If you have a baking rack it helps to use it on top of the paper or foil – with bacon placed on top of the rack.)
Bake for about 15 minutes, checking occasionally, until bacon is starting to get crispy in parts.
If you are not using a baking rack, remove most of the accumulated fat before brushing on honey mixture.
Combine honey and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Lightly brush honey sauce on top of the bacon and sprinkle with a small amount of garlic salt and pepper.
Bake another 5 to 8 minutes until bacon is crispy and dark. (Will crisp as it cools.)
Remove from oven and let cool completely. (By that I mean you get to taste a bite – then let it cool for guests.)
