Chef's Notes
Do not rush the glaze reduction! Letting the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce meld properly over medium heat ensures a sticky, caramelized coating that clings to the bacon rather than running off into a watery puddle.
Pro Tip
Soak your wooden toothpicks in water for 15 minutes before skewering the bacon. This stops them from scorching into burnt little sticks while roasting in the oven.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware of the sticky sugar trap! If you skip lining your baking pan or fail to watch the glaze, the escaped brown sugar will fuse to the metal at 350 degrees F, creating a blackened, carbonized lava that requires industrial strength elbow grease to scrub off.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the water chestnut bring bacon to the party? Because it wanted to look sophisticated without having to do any actual work
The Culinary Science
The magic of this dish lies in the Maillard reaction combined with sugar caramelization. As the bacon renders its fat, the brown sugar in the glaze melts and thickens, creating a sweet-and-savory crust that locks in moisture.
