Glazed Sriracha Bacon

If you've been following my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love Sriracha.  I liberally douse it on things like eggs and asian foods.  Yesterday I thought, "sriracha glaze on bacon"?  So I headed to the kitchen and mixed up a quick brown sugar and sriracha concoction to brush on thick slices of hickory smoked bacon. Wow, the sweet heat of the glaze on that tasty bacon was so incredibly good - I just had to make it again today.   

To make the glaze, combine equal parts sriracha and light brown sugar.

Brush the glaze on the top of thick-cut bacon that has been placed on a rack suspended over a half sheet pan.

Pop the sheet pan in the bottom third of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Watch the bacon so it doesn't burn.

Transfer the bacon to a hot cast iron skillet and cook until the bottom side of the bacon crisps up a bit.
