Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 2
Make the Hot Honey Mixture
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cooking
- 3
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet with bacon in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- 4
Glaze the Bacon
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the bacon strips while they are still on the baking sheet. Use a brush to spread the glaze evenly over the bacon.
- 5
Final Broil
Return the glazed bacon to the oven and broil on high for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the honey and make it sticky. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Serve the Hot Honey Bacon
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining hot honey from the baking sheet over the bacon for extra flavor. Enjoy!
