Grilled Maple-Chipotle Bacon image

If you've never grilled bacon before, you'll be amazed by the flavor! Not only does it save cleaning up a mess on the stove, the charred flavor is out of this world! Add to that the sweet-heat kick of maple and chipotle and you've got yourself quite the breakfast treat. You may just want to double the recipe! Using a leaner, thick-cut bacon will reduce chances of flare-ups.

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 3

¼ cup maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1 pound thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine maple syrup and chipotle powder in a small bowl.
  • Place a disposable aluminum pan on the upper rack of your grill or over one burner on indirect heat.
  • Place bacon strips directly on the hot grate and reduce heat to low. Grill bacon, turning frequently, until evenly browned and crisped to your liking, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to the prepared pan to keep warm.
  • Return all cooked strips to grill and brush with maple-chipotle glaze on both sides and cook for 1 minute more. Serve immediately.
