How to Make Bbq Rumaki

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wrap each chestnut in a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  3. Place the wrapped chestnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 35 minutes.
  5. While the chestnuts bake, whisk together the ketchup and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  6. Remove the chestnuts from the oven and carefully drain off any excess grease.
  7. Dip each bacon-wrapped chestnut into the ketchup mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Return the chestnuts to the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the BBQ glaze is sticky and caramelized.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
