Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the grill by preheating it to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined, creating a smooth glaze.
- Lay out the bacon strips, ensuring they are not overlapping. If using a grill mat or aluminum foil, place the bacon on the surface to prevent direct flame contact.
- Grill the bacon for approximately 3-4 minutes on the first side, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Flip the bacon and brush generously with the prepared honey sriracha glaze, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
- Continue grilling for an additional 3-4 minutes, repeatedly brushing with glaze and turning to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Remove bacon when it reaches desired crispness and has a glossy, sticky exterior from the glaze.
- Transfer grilled bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Let the bacon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set and cool slightly.
- Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and crispy honey sriracha grilled bacon.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Maintain a medium-high grill heat (375-400°F) to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Use a Grill Mat: To prevent bacon from falling through grates and make flipping easier, consider using a grill mat or aluminum foil.
- Glaze Technique: Apply the honey sriracha glaze in multiple layers for maximum flavor intensity and beautiful caramelization.
- Watch Closely: Bacon can burn quickly, so keep a close eye on it and turn frequently.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the bacon to rest for 2-3 minutes after grilling to let the glaze set and flavors meld.
- Customize Heat Level: Adjust sriracha quantity to make the dish more or less spicy according to your preference.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the bacon while it's hot and crispy for the best taste and texture experience.
