Description
This is the way my mother made them when I was growing up. And they were always a treat. The sauce is from another recipe on here but I found that it perfectly balances out the saltiness of the bacon and soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 pound bacon, halved crosswise
- 20 toothpicks, or as needed
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup chili sauce
Instructions
- Soak water chestnuts in a bowl with soy sauce for at least 3 hours; drain.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon; secure with a toothpick and arrange on a shallow baking dish. Repeat with remaining water chestnuts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp
- 25 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile
- mix brown sugar
- mayonnaise
- and chili sauce in a bowl until dipping sauce is smooth. Serve bacon-wrapped water chestnuts with dipping sauce.
