For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the brown sugar mixture. Use high-quality, thick-cut bacon for the best results. The thickness ensures the bacon remains chewy while the sugar caramelizes beautifully. The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools. Allow it to cool slightly on the wire rack before serving. Store any leftover candied bacon in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
