Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 trips Bacon thick-cut
  • 6 tablespoons hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 medium jalapeno pepper thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F* (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Place the bacon strips on the lined baking sheet, spacing each about 1 inch apart.
  3. Brush or drizzle the tops of each strip of bacon with about 1 tablespoon of hot honey.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the top of the bacon slices.
  5. Top each slice of bacon with 3-5 slices of jalapeno.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  7. Let bacon cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • *Grilling Instructions:
  •  
  • Note: I do not recommend cooking the bacon in an air fryer; when testing, the bacon just flew around.
  • Preheat your grill to 400°F.
  • Prepare the bacon as instructed.
  • Place a wire cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. (This is for crispy bacon on the grill.)
  • Grill bacon for 8-12 minutes, or until it reaches your desired crispiness.
