Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This dish combines sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors in every bite. The maple syrup balances the heat from the chipotle, creating a unique glaze that makes the bacon irresistible. It’s perfect for adding a bold twist to your usual grilled favorites.

Simple Cooking Tips

- Use thick-cut bacon for the best texture and to prevent burning on the grill.
- Grill over medium heat to allow the glaze to caramelize without charring the bacon.
- Brush the glaze on several times during grilling for a sticky, flavorful coating.

Step 1

Gently heat your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling so the bacon doesn’t stick. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and chipotle powder until well combined. Set a disposable aluminum pan on the upper rack or off to the side on indirect heat to keep the bacon warm later.

Step 2

Place the bacon strips directly on the hot grill grates, then turn the heat down to low. Grill the bacon, turning it often, until it’s nicely browned and crispy—this usually takes about 4 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, move the bacon to the pan you set aside to keep it warm.

Step 3

Pop the bacon back on the grill and brush both sides generously with the maple-chipotle glaze. Let it cook for just about a minute more so the glaze gets sticky and caramelized. Serve the bacon right away and enjoy!

Perfect Side Pairings

Serve alongside fresh fruit or a simple green salad to balance the richness. It also pairs well with scrambled eggs or as a topping for burgers and sandwiches. For a fun twist, try it with cornbread or grilled vegetables.

Storing Food Safely

Store leftover bacon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep it crispy. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

Delicious taste but the glaze was kinda sticky on the grill. Next time I’ll try less syrup, still a solid recipe.
