Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
• toothpicks
• 2 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained
• 1.25 cups soy sauce
• 24 slices thick sliced bacon, cut in half

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Combine water chestnuts, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl; toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Drain water chestnuts; discard soy sauce. Place 1 pineapple chunk in center of each bacon half, then place 1 water chestnut on top. Fold ends of bacon over water chestnut; secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining pineapple, bacon, and water chestnuts. Gently toss bacon-wrapped pineapple and water chestnuts in brown sugar in a bowl; place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes; flip pieces over. Continue baking until bacon is cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 15 to 35 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Serve hot.
