How to Make Barbecued Chestnuts In Bacon

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup and 1 tablespoon brown sugar until smooth.
  2. Cut each bacon rasher into thirds. Gently stretch each piece lengthwise using the back of a knife to make it longer and thinner.
  3. Wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon and secure with a cocktail stick.
  4. Dip each wrapped water chestnut into the ketchup mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Thread onto long skewers, leaving space between each for even cooking.
  5. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill skewers for 5-8 minutes, turning 2-3 times and basting frequently with the remaining ketchup mixture. Cook until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, and the water chestnuts are tender.
  6. Remove from grill, carefully remove cocktail sticks, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
