Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your smoker or oven to 225°F (107°C). Cut the thick-cut bacon into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the bacon pieces in the mixture until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Bacon

    Place the bacon pieces in a smoker or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Smoke or bake for about 2 hours, or until the bacon is crispy.

  4. 4

    Add Sweet Chili Sauce

    Remove the bacon from the heat and toss it in a bowl with the sweet chili sauce until well coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the bacon burnt ends warm, either as an appetizer or a delicious snack.
