Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cut the slab bacon into 1-inch cubes. Make sure to have uniform size for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Bacon

    In a bowl, mix the bourbon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Add the bacon cubes and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Skewer the Bacon

    Thread the marinated bacon cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with fresh rosemary sprigs.

  2. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).

  3. 6

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Ensure that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with any leftover marinade if desired.
