Candied tequila bacon

1. Remove the bacon from the package and separate into strips. Lay each strip in a shallow baking dish or bowl. Add enough tequila so that all the bacon is in the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.

2. 2. Preheat oven to 200 C. Remove bacon from fridge and discard alcohol. Pat each piece of bacon dry using a dishrag or paper towels. Rub brown sugar lightly onto both sides of each piece of bacon, and lay pieces in a large casserole dish or rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle cayenne and lime zest over each piece.

3. 3. Bake for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently so the bacon doesn’t burn, and cook until done. Allow to cool until the bacon can be picked up with your fingers. While the bacon is still pliable, thread onto skewers. Set each skewer on a plate until it is fully cooled. Serve and enjoy!
