Ingredients
- A generous splash of luscious maple syrup
- A hint of smoky ground chipotle pepper
- A hefty portion of succulent thick-cut bacon
Step 1
Warm up your outdoor grill to a cozy medium-high temperature and give the grate a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the sweet maple syrup and spicy chipotle powder for a flavor-packed glaze.
Step 3
For easy cleanup, place a disposable aluminum pan on the upper rack of your grill or place it over indirect heat on one burner.
Step 4
Lay out the bacon strips directly on the sizzling grate and lower the heat to a gentle flame. Grill the bacon, giving it a flip now and then, until it reaches your desired level of crispy perfection - typically around 4 to 6 minutes. Once done, transfer the cooked bacon to the waiting pan to keep it warm.
Step 5
Put all the sizzling bacon back on the grill and generously brush both sides with the delightful maple-chipotle glaze. Let it cook for an additional minute to soak up the flavors. When ready, serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, sweet, and spicy goodness.
Extra Tips & Suggestions

- 1. Preserve the bacon's smoky essence by tightly wrapping it in parchment paper before placing it in an airtight container. This will help maintain its moisture and prevent it from drying out.
