Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts — these come together in just 1 hour and feature crisp bacon, tender water chestnuts, and a flavorful sauce — all wrapped up for a perfect bite every time. Perfect for game day parties! The process of making these is broken up to ensure a couple of things: 1. The bacon cooks on its own first, so it has enough time to cook through and crisp up in the oven. 2. Then, the sauce is added later so it doesn’t add too moisture to the bacon while it cooks (if it’s added too early, the bacon doesn’t get/remain crisp), as well as making sure the sauce doesn’t burn. If everything was cooked at once, I have found that the bacon just doesn’t get to the right texture and/or the sauce burns. #gamedayappetizers #appetizerrecipe #baconappetizer
