Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnut Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cans of water chestnuts (8 ounces each)
• 1 lb bacon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 large cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1/2 cup ketchup

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   Cut the bacon into half and wrap each slice of bacon around one water chestnut, securing it with a toothpick. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Turn the heat off and add brandy. Turn the heat back to medium-low and reduce the brandy mixture by ½. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, and ketchup. Simmer down until slightly thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Bake wrapped water chestnuts for 30-40 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown and slightly crisp. Baste with the sauce every 10 minutes.
