Time 55m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 slices bacon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half. Fold each half of the bacon in an "S" pattern upon itself a few times and thread each one onto a wooden skewer.
  • Place the bacon skewers on the prepared wire rack.
  • Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture on the bacon skewers.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the skewers and sprinkle on some more of the sugar mixture. Cook for 20 minutes more.
  • Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and flip them over. Taste one skewer. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining spice mixture on the bacon skewers.
  • Serve the skewers just as they are or add on garnishes, such as olives and cherry tomatoes, before popping them in your cocktail!
