    Bacon Wrapping Tips

    When wrapping anything with bacon, it is important to mention how to cook the ingredient that is inside.

    If the ingredient doesn't take long, like asparagus on chicken, you want to make sure the meat or veggie doesn't OVER cook inside. The bacon may not cook as quickly as what's inside and vice versa.

    Some tips to make sure your appetizers turn out perfectly chewy and crispy:

    • Par cook your bacon- Partially cooking your bacon on a wire rack or in a skillet BEFORE wrapping food is a quick trick to making sure the end result is perfect. We don't want raw OR burnt bacon. This will also speed up cook time.
    • Use toothpick skewers- These serve two purposes. They will help the bacon stay wrapped around the food and also act like mini forks for your guests. If grilling, make sure to soak your skewers beforehand or use metal one so they don't burn.
    • Choose a thinner cut bacon- Using thicker cut bacon will take much longer to cook.
    • Opt for different smoke flavors- Bacon can some in a few different smoke flavors like hardwood, apple, or hickory smoked.
    • Think about adding a sweet element- Bacon goes incredibly well with brown sugar, honey or maple syrup so think about adding or even brushing some onto your bacon wrapped appetizers before or after they come out of the oven.
