Red Chili Candied Bacon
If you like to get hit by the one-two punch of sweet and heat, and if you love bacon, then you need to try this recipe! It is super simple and super delicious!
This recipe is as easy as mix the chili powder & brown sugar, dredge the bacon in the mixture, and bake.

Thick cut bacon (about a half a pound) cut in half lengthwise
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 T Chili Powder
Note: This chili powder can definitely get your attention. If you are not a fan of heat, you can use whatever heat of chili powder you like, but a little heat definitely balances out the sweet from the brown sugar.
Hardware:
Rimmed baking sheet (I use a jelly roll pan, which I should start calling my bacon pan, because I have never in my life made a jelly roll)
Cooling rack that fits in baking sheet
Foil
Tongs
Medium metal bowl (large enough for bacon slice)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line baking sheet with foil and set rack on foil.
Mix brown sugar and chili powder in bowl.
Dredge bacon in mixture - I like to lay the bacon in, add mix on top then press it in to get a good coating. Lay on rack - crosswise works best.
Place baking sheet in oven. Bake for 20 minutes - but start checking after about 15 or so to make sure it doesn't burn.
Use tongs to move to second cooling rack, which I usually place over a cutting board to make clean-up easier. This frees up the rack for a second batch and helps you make sure the candied bacon doesn't stick to the rack.
