How to Make Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnut
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Cut 1 pound of bacon slices in half. Wrap one half-slice of bacon around each water chestnut (about 24-30 medium water chestnuts).
- Secure each bacon-wrapped water chestnut with a toothpick.
- Place the wrapped water chestnuts on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and cooked through.
- While the water chestnuts are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chili garlic sauce (or your favorite chili sauce), and 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar.
- Bring the glaze to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Remove the cooked water chestnuts from the oven and carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Transfer the water chestnuts to an oven-safe baking dish.
- Pour the sweet chili glaze over the water chestnuts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cover the baking dish and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes at 325°F (160°C).
- Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
