How to Catch a Man with Bacon - 10 Great Bacon Desserts

So at this point you can add the bourbon, for this Easy Bourbon Bacon Brittle, and again, stir quickly because it will bubble up. Have all your add-ins ready because you need to get them on while the brittle is still hot so it sticks. Let the brittle cool and harden for about an hour and then you can start breaking it apart into pieces. Add this bacon brittle to a bowl and place it out for guests to snack on, wrap it up in decorative paper or a pretty container to give as a gift — or just eat it. This delicious bacon brittle recipe is perfect for giving as a hostess gift during the holidays or any gift giving occasion!

Bring this mixture to a boil, then let simmer for minutes until a candy thermometer reads degrees. Once the mixture is at degrees, turn the heat off and carefully add the baking powder and stir. The misture will bubble up when you add the baking powder so stir quickly.

Three Wise Men, A Bourbon Bacon Brittle Recipe

I look forward to making more of your recipes. You totally made my day! Perfect cure for my dinnertime sweet tooth!

All I had was thick-sliced bacon so it needed a few minutes in the broiler to finish cooking. I will definitely make this one again. We loved it minus a couple things. So for next time we will just use the same garlic amount and maybe broil for a minute or two to make the bacon crisper?

What would you suggest? Otherwise our family loves this and we will definitely be adding this into our meal rotation. Thanks so much for sharing. So glad you all enjoyed it! If you are looking for more of a crisp, you can place it under the broiler right before serving. You could make just about anything as a side to go along with the dish. I recommend my rainbow roasted vegetable or even my ultimate slow cooker mashed potatoes. Either would be a fantastic pairing.

Some notes about this Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken:

In the picture it looks like you added green onion or something else little and green lol , but nothing like this is listed in the ingredients. What did you use? This looks so delicious! I want to make this in the crockpot for dinner tomorrow night but only have boneless skinless chicken breasts…is that going to work?

If so, how long do I put them in there for and on which temp? Do I need to change anything or will it be o. I prefer chicken thighs because they have a higher fat content to keep the chicken moist. Breasts may dry out a little bit but being wrapped in bacon will keep it moist as well. I say go for it and enjoy! Can I make it ahead and heat it up later? If yes what temp would you reheat at and for how long? I made this using 3 chicken breasts, so halved the rest of the recipe, and ended up with sad, soggy bacon on the bottom and nothing even close to crispy, sticky goodness on the top.

The only thing I can think of is I used a baking dish that the three breasts just fit in, so the juices came about halfway up the sides of the meat when done. Do I need to put them on a baking sheet instead? Hope this helps for the next go around. Only have boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins.

Will the recipe still work? Any modifications you would suggest? Any ideas on what I did wrong? Help me cook your delicious food! I just updated the recipe to show that the chicken should be about oz each. Hopefully this helps for next time! I did learn over my years to make small slits in the chicken. Not only does it keep the flavor flowing while in the oven but the juices run through also. Once o started doing that I cant say my chicken was ever dry.

I am a pathetic cook. I made this the other night but I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can get to the brown sugar mix to stick better to the chicken breast?

Bacon Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

If you are having trouble getting it to stay on the chicken it could be a film on the chicken not removed by the butcher. But also, just spooning that liquid over the chicken after cooking is also going to add more flavor. Glad you enjoyed the recipe though! I was skeptical about this, but it had all the right ingredients to please my adorably, annoyingly picky eater of a husband. He looked kind of worried as I was assembling everything but grinned like a madman when he saw the bacon appear.

I made three pieces. We ate three pieces. We were sad there were no more pieces. This is a seriously awesome recipe! You should say what size chicken breast you used. I buy bulk chicken not the organic stuff, it takes at least 1 hour to cook. I was sad at the timeing but it was super good loved it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just updated the post to show that the chicken should be about oz. This chicken was very good Thankyou,I just needed to make more of the brownsugar mixture it wasnt sticky and coated enough for me. I made this tonight for the first time. My husband and kids loved it too!

Thanks for taking the time, even between bites, to come back and let me know how much you all enjoyed it! Happy new year From Barbados i really want to try this recipe tonight was wondering do i have to cover pan while baking? I had the same issue as another reader, the bacon not cooking. Smells amazing in my house right now…. Will definitely make again. It took longer in oven than recipe said but worth the wait.

This recipe looks amazing, you suggest potato wedges and roasted veggies but all 3 recipescall for different cooking temperatures. How do I effectively make all 3 at the same time? Loads of different options. I made this with boneless chicken thighs. And as it was about degrees, I turned the broiler on to crisp up the bacon and turned them over and did the same o that side. I also prepared them the night before.. They was really good, everyone at church loved them. Thanks for the recipe? Made this tonight for dinner and my husband and I absolutely loved it!

Made it almost exactly according to recipe I substituted fresh garlic with garlic powder, and put it under the broiler for a minute or so after it was cooked to temp. It was super easy and delish! As others have said already, this is definitely going in my rotation. Thanks so much for sharing! I could have eaten the entire dish by myself, I think. I threw in some chopped carrots and sweet potatoes and green onions, right in the same pan.

The veggies were perfect choices for the brown sugar and bacon. Thank you for the recipe! I would recommend cutting them in half to make them smaller.

Im going to attempt to make this for dinner for my family. And was wondering did you plate this with any sides? You can serve with rice or potato wedges and roasted vegetables both recipes can be found by using the search bar. Mine were about oz each. At least for me they were. The brown sugar mixture as listed in the recipe did not make nearly enough to cover the four chicken breasts that I used. The bacon never did cook thoroughly at the temperature and length of time recommended in the recipe. I ended up baking the bacon-wrapped breasts for 55 minutes and my family told me they still felt the bacon was undercooked.

I will definitely have to tweak this recipe next time. To crisp the bacon, I used skewers to hold the chicken up after it cooked for a bit. I made lemon glazed carrots and garlic n sour cream mashed potatoes. Let me point out that my son is drug free, alcohol free and smoke free. He loves to joke big time…. SO this recipe is a keeper. And I will be subscribing!!!! Hahaha, I love it!! I am not a dark meat fan so i used wings and breast. Simple and yet oh so good.

Thigh meat does have a higher fat content so you should be good without it but not sure if you want to chance it. This was a big hit with my family tonight. I think we will be having this again soon! It really is such an easy recipe without losing any of the amazing flavor! This recipe is awesome!

Will definitely make again! Has anyone used turkey bacon in place of pork bacon?

Or made it without the bacon all together? I have a slow cooker recipe without using bacon. OMG this was amazing! Thanks for the recipe! I fed 4 picky eaters who loved it too! I sliced the bacon in half and laid two pieces on the breast then covered it with leftover sugar. I also broiled it for about 3 minutes at the end t crisp it up. I made this today. Used two large boneless skinless breasts with fresh garlic.

Waiting for end results! Was very tasty, I added a siracha brown sugar glaze on it just to give it a kick. And had to cook it longer to make sure bacon and chicken were both fine. I made this recipe tonight and the flavors were delicious! This is a keeper. I doubled the recipe and did not have enough cloves. So glad I came across your recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Are you kidding me! Put the bacon on a cooling rack. Then on the baking sheet. The grease drips off and you can do away with mos of the drying part then.

I bet it would too. It would probably make an even better Vineagrette for something like Wilted Lettuce or Wilted Watercress. I took it to a work pot luck, and I got about 50 emails asking for the recipe! The next pot luck is sundae toppings — candied bacon.

Candied Bacon Recipe | Alex Guarnaschelli | Food Network

I am just not sure — cayenne pepper, blacked crapped pepper or nothing savory? I am so humiliated about that mistake! A bit of cayenne pepper and bacon on whipped cream! Who could ask for more. I have to learn how to make it! I was there for the first time a couple weeks ago and had their candied bacon. It was absolutely delicious. I live about a hundred miles away from there and thought about going back for more but I decided to try to make it at home instead. This recipe is great!

I have made it with and without the Cayenne. Really good both ways. A Silpat mat works great for this. Also, I just read a recipe for candied bacon homemade ice cream!
