Marinate the Bacon
Place the slab bacon in a baking dish and pour the bourbon-maple syrup mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Roast the Bacon
Once marinated, remove the bacon from the refrigerator. Uncover it and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Baste the bacon with the leftover marinade halfway through cooking.
