Hey everybody! Welcome back to my channel. Today we're tailgating, so we're gonna
make bacon-wrapped water chestnuts. These things are delicious! Stick around I'm
going to show you how to make them step by step
So what you're gonna need to make these is a couple cans of whole water
chestnuts, some soy sauce, your favorite brand,and bacon. I cut it in thirds to wrap
these things, because you don't need a whole slice per. Sugar and a cutting board.
Now you could use a bowl, but I just use the can they come in. Open the water
chestnuts, drain all the water off and pour in a little soy sauce. Just enough
to soak. You don't want to over do these because they'll get too salty but we're
gonna make these up quick enough that they won't be it won't be too salty in
the end. All right let those soak for just a couple minutes and then we're
gonna roll these in the sugar, and then the bacon. One other thing I forgot to
mention real quick here is you are gonna need some toothpicks cuz this is what
holds these guys together in the pan. I like to spread them out right here so
I can grab them real quick. The first thing you're gonna do after you've cut
your bacon in thirds. I like to just kind of lay it out on the board here because
it makes it easier to wrap the water chestnuts and roll them. This Bacon's
falling apart here, it's gonna be alright. Now that we got our bacon all laid out
here I'm gonna get get a couple of these from the bottom just throw them in the
sugar.
You just want to just a decent coat of sugar on these kind of like that, and
then you're gonna roll just do a quick roll once. Grab a toothpick and that's
what it looks like. Put it in the pan I said a decent coat of sugar roll one
decent roll just you want the whole thing covered like that. Toothpick to
hold it together into the pan so we're gonna do this with all of our water
chestnuts. Our Bacon's really stringy and falling apart but it's gonna be
alright because we're just gonna cook and eat these. As I mentioned super
simple recipe and delicious everyone's gonna love you if you bring these to a
party. Because these little guys are delicious. When they're done that sugar
and the soy sauce it all works together perfectly.
Seems like salty and sugary doesn't go together but it does these are delicious
if you take stuff to a tailgate this is the one thing there won't be anything
left off and as you can see super super easy. Now when we're done here we're
gonna do you're gonna put these in the oven at 350 and we're gonna cook them
for approximately an hour but until we're satisfied with how the bacons
cooked. Now if you like your bacon a little crispier leave them in just a
little longer, if you like your bacon what I call is a little wimpyer and
don't leave them in quite as long. OK we're about to get these in the oven we
ended up using three cans of water chestnuts and one pack of bacon. So this
is in a 9 by 11 pan so you could use a 9 by 9 whatever pan and you'll have to
basically play it by ear as far as how many water chestnuts and stuff you're
going to use. OK it's time for the water chestnuts to go in the oven we got this
preheated to 350 stick them right in here keep an eye on
them. They're gonna bake for approximately 45 minutes to an hour
depending on how they look and how crispy we want the bacon, But it does
make a difference we're cooking in a clear glass pan so they're gonna cook a
little longer if you use a dark pan they'll not take quite as long because a
dark pan will cook quicker so. OK, so these these have been in an hour look at
how nice and crispy they are and get these out let them cool and give them a
try taste them see how they taste, All right, so out of the oven.
We are gonna let them cool for a couple minutes. Look at those. Still bubbling real nice these are gonna be
delicious. OK, so let's give this bacon-wrapped
water chestnut a try here. I let it cool. Definitely let these things cool or they
will scorch your mouth. Look at look at how nice and caramely glaze that is
with the sugar. Mmmm These things are delicious and they're still hot
