Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil.

In a small bowl, whisk the brown sugar with the chile powder.

Arrange the bacon strips on the foil and coat the tops with the chile sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until caramelized and almost crisp.

Transfer the bacon to a rack set over a sheet of foil to cool completely; serve.

Make Ahead: You can make these early in the day before your event. I like to keep these in the fridge until ready to serve. Put out about 30 minutes before your event.
