SPICY KETCHUP GLAZED BACON-WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS



Spicy Ketchup Glazed Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts image

These will be a huge hit at your party! the recipe may be doubled or tripled, you may wrap all the chestnuts hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake --- try to purchase the thin sliced bacon for this then slice each strip into three pieces --- I use the Heinz spicy ketchup, if you cannot find the spicy ketchup just add in some cayenne pepper, also try to purchase the thicker long toothpicks :)

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb bacon, strips sliced in thirds
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts
3/4 cup spicy ketchup (Heinz spicy ketchup is good to use)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
long toothpick

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat; cook the spicy ketchup with the brown sugar, stirring until no sugar granules remain; set aside (this can be done up to a day in advance).
  • Dry each water chestnut using a paper towel.
  • Wrap one small slice of bacon tightly around each water chestnut, then secure with a toothpick.
  • Place into baking dish.
  • Lightly cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes or just until the bacon is crispy.
  • If desired you may bake uncovered for a couple of minutes just to crisp up the bacon more.
  • Remove from oven and drain the fat/grease.
  • Drizzle the prepared sauce mixture over each chestnut, return to oven and bake uncovered for about 8-10 minutes more.

SPICY BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 can(s) whole water chestnuts (drained)
2 1/2 pound(s) bacon
1 cup(s) mayo
1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup(s) heinz chili sauce
2 teaspoon(s) cajun seasoning ( i used emeril's essence)
1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper
1/2 cup(s) soy sauce

Steps:

  • Place water chestnuts in medium bowl and add soy sauce. Marinate while preparing bacon. Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • Pre-cook bacon in microwave. On a dinner plate place 5 slices on 2 paper towels. Place 2 more paper towels on top and add another 5 slices of bacon. Cover with 2 more paper towels and cook on high for 3/12 to 4 minutes. Repeat process until you have precooked all bacon. This partially cooks the bacon as well as releasing much of the grease before wrapping. You may be able to do more layers at one time but I was following a Rachel Ray recipe for microwave bacon and was afraid to deviate.
  • Stack bacon slices and cut in half. Wrap each half around a water chestnut and secure with toothpick. After wrapping place in an ungreased 9 x 13 glass or ceramic baking dish. (You will need 2 baking dishes.)
  • In another medium bowl whisk together mayo, brown sugar, chili sauce, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper until blended.
  • Pour evenly over the wrapped chestnuts and place in oven for 30-35 minutes. If bacon does not look quite done enough switch the oven to broil for about 5 minutes. (I used a bottle with a nozzle top...like a hair color bottle to drizzle sauce. It worked great!)
  • Remove from oven and transfer them to a pretty serving platter...but they won't be there long. :)
