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 :) Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
3. 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).
4. Dry each water chestnut using a paper towel.
5. Wrap one small slice of bacon tightly around each water chestnut, then secure with a toothpick.
6. Place into baking dish.
7. Lightly cover the dish with foil.
8. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or just until the bacon is crispy.
9. If desired you may bake uncovered for a couple of minutes just to crisp up the bacon more.
10. Remove from oven and drain the fat/grease.
11. Drizzle the prepared sauce mixture over each chestnut, return to oven and bake uncovered for about 8-10 minutes more.
