Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp whiskey
  • 1 lb thick-sliced bacon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add all ingredients except bacon to the food processor. Mix for a minute until mixture becomes a paste.
  • Line a sheet pan with foil. Place an oven-proof cooling rack on top. Cut slab of bacon in half and place on cooling rack.
  • Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, spread paste in a thin layer over bacon. It doesn't have to be perfect.
  • Put bacon in oven for 40-50 minutes, until edges of bacon have crisped up. If they're not ready, try another 2-3 minutes in the oven. They'll continue to crisp as they cool.
  • Serve and get ready to bring to all your parties!
