For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce marinade. Ensure the bacon is cooked thoroughly to render the fat and achieve a crispy texture. These bites are best served immediately while the bacon is still warm and crispy.
Embark on a culinary adventure with these delectable bacon-wrapped bites! The savory bacon perfectly complements the sweetness of pineapple and the satisfying crunch of water chestnuts, creating an irresistible appetizer that's sure to impress.
In a bowl, combine the drained water chestnuts, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Drain the marinated water chestnuts, discarding the soy sauce mixture. Wrap each pineapple chunk and a water chestnut with a half-slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Gently toss the bacon-wrapped bites in brown sugar until well coated. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip the bites and continue baking for another 15 to 35 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to your desired crispness.
Transfer the cooked bites to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly before serving hot.
