Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Step 1

In a medium bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, and pepper. Add the drained chestnuts and mix to coat. Cover and marinate in fridge at least 4 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375. Line a jelly roll pan or 9x13 pan with foil or parchment paper and place a metal cooking rack on top or use a broiler pan so that the drippings can fall off.

Step 3

Cut the bacon slices in half or in thirds, depending on how big the bacon is. Drain water chestnuts from marinade. Roll one water chestnut in a piece of bacon, secure w/ toothpick. Roll in brown sugar. Bake 30-40 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Don't worry if the fat and brown sugar that fall off smoke a little.
