Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Mix the Coating

    In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and red chile flakes. Mix well until fully combined.

  3. 3

    Skewer the Bacon

    Cut the bacon strips into thirds. Thread each piece onto a skewer, making sure to leave a small gap between each piece.

  4. 4

    Coat the Bacon

    Roll each skewer of bacon in the sugar mixture until well coated. Place the skewered bacon onto the prepared baking sheet.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Bake the Bacon

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  2. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the candied bacon cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your deliciously sweet and spicy treat!
