Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Little Boys

  • Cocktail Franks
  • 6 slices bacon
  • Parsley Sprig

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Little Boys

  1. Wrap each cocktail frankfurter with ½ slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  2. Arrange the bacon-wrapped franks in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with a damp paper towel.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Rotate the franks, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the franks are heated through. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave's power.
  4. Carefully remove the toothpicks. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy as a cocktail appetizer, or place them in hot dog buns with your favourite toppings like cheese, relish, or a spicy salsa.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
