Instructions
- Mix Dark Brown Sugar, Black Pepper, Sea Salt, Paprika, Cumin and Cayenne Pepper together in a bowl.
- Rub slices of bacon with the seasoning mixture and then leave bacon in the bowl – cover bacon as much as possible with the remaining spice mix.
- Allow Bacon to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
- Fry on medium in non-stick or well seasoned cast iron skillet until dark brown and done
- Remove to a plate – do not drain on a paper towel
Notes
- PRO TIP: Use thick cut bacon. It holds up to the spices very well and works best for sandwiches and other applications
- Mix the spices together VERY WELL before packing onto the bacon.
- You'll want to actually pack the spices onto the bacon. Pat them in with your hands. This requires more than a simple dredge through the spices. Say, "get in there spices" as you pat. That always helps!
- Do NOT drain on paper towels. Trust me – don’t. You will end up eating paper towel – and no one wants that. The paper towel sticks to the bacon like an 800 pound gorilla clings to the last banana in the kitchen on a Saturday night. Seriously. You can’t get the paper towel off and you also won’t be able to throw the bacon away – so then you are stuck eating paper towel!
- Make about three times as much of this stuff as you plan to serve. People will say things like "that's just sinful, I can't eat any of that" and then you'll see great handfuls of the stuff going right in their mouth. You'll need way more than you think you will.
- When cooking this recipe, make sure your pan is good and hot before putting the bacon into the pan. You'll want a quick initial sear to set the flavor.
- Wikipedia loves pig candy too.
