Equipment
- Bamboo Skewers
Ingredients
- 1 12 to 16 ounce bacon thick cut
- ½ cup BBQ sauce your favorite
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- green onion Optional garnish
Instructions
- This recipe starts in the oven and finishes on the grill. Soak your bamboo skewers for at least 30 minutes prior to preparing this recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and add a baking rack.
- Keep your bacon stacked together while you remove it from the package.
- While still stacked; slice one inch wide strips from the block. Now skewer each strip on a skewer. Place the skewered lollipops on the baking rack.
- Bake the lollipops in the oven for 35 minutes to render some of the fat. This will keep them from flaring up when you finish the dish on the BBQ.
- Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan on medium-low heat, heat the BBQ sauce and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. This thickens the sauce so it’ll stick.
- After 35 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and set aside until you can handle the skewers. Baste each lollipop with the BBQ sauce mixture and set on a clean plate. Refrigerate the lollipops for 20 minutes. Don’t skip this step.
- Meanwhile, heat your grill to medium-low. Grill the lollipops for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp but not burned. There’s a fine line so please don’t walk away! Remove from grill and plate, garnishing with green onions if desired.
