Perfect Bacon Recipe

Brian Child

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Slices thick cut bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 Tablesooons honey

Instructions
 

  • Place the oven rack into a middle position and preheat the oven to 375°F
  • Pre-line your rimmed backing sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cookie cooling rack on top of the aluminium foiled cookie sheet.
  • Arrange the slices of bacon. Allow the oven to completely pre-heat and then place the backing sheet into the oven. Dress the bacon with the brown sugar and black pepper, and then drizzle with the honey.
  • Allow the bacon to cook, with out turning until the fat starts to render. This will take about 5-6 minutes.
  • To ensure even cooking, rotate the backing sheet and allow to continue to cook until the bacon is crisp and brown, this could take anywhere from 6-10 additional minutes. This is not to take a telephone call.
  • Transfer the perfect bacon to a plate that is lined with kitchen paper or use a brown paper bag to collect the excess drippings.
