Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spread the bacon out over a large baking sheet.
  3. Mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, sriracha sauce and ghost pepper flakes in a large bowl.
  4. Rub each bacon slice down with your spice mixture. Get them good and coated!
  5. Bake the bacon for 30 minutes, or until is just getting crispy.
  6. Remove from heat and allow to cool. It will crisp up more in that time.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Heat Factor: Medium. Despite using ghost pepper flakes, the sweet really balances it out. Use extra ghost pepper flakes or powder to up the heat factor.
