I must say when I first came across this recipe, I had my doubts about the flavor combination. Bacon, honey and sriracha? Are you serious? It sounded like they would be way to different to be a good match. But then, I got curious. And I decided to try it. Just like our friends over at Wright Brand:
But, everyone warmed up to the idea after they saw the recipe: slow cured thick-cut Wright® Brand Bacon skewered and grilled to crispy tender perfection, then glazed with ancho pepper honey to give the rich umami a little sweet heat. Yes please, lollipops all around.
I’m so happy I decided to give these a go, after all! I’ve made these for two different parties already, and they’ve been a huge hit on both occasions. I can’t even tell you how many of my guests asked for the recipe!
Ingredients
1 package Wright® Brand Applewood Smoked Bacon (24 ounces)
1 tablespoon ground ancho pepper
1 cup clover honey
1 tablespoon prepared adobo sauce
To taste prepared sriracha seasoning
¼ cup sliced green onions
Instructions:
Remove your bacon from it’s package still stacked together. With it stacked, slice 1″ wide blocks, then skewer them with a wooden skewer, and place on a sheet pan with a baking rack.
Heat oven to 325° degrees and roast the bacon pops for 30 minutes, or until the fat has rendered. While bacon is cooking, start heating the honey in a small sauce pan and stir in the adobo and ancho pepper. Heat on medium low, and hold at this temp for approximately 5 minutes. Next give the bacon a generous coat of the adobo honey (like you would baste a turkey) until the outside is sticky and sweet. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a clean plate, then chill the bacon for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat the outdoor grill to medium high and grill the bacon for 5-10 minutes or until peak crispiness is achieved. Remember to baste the bacon with the adobo honey while on the grill. Remove the delicious lollipops from the grill and finish them off with sriracha seasoning and green onions.

Quick Tip: You can skip the sriracha if it’s too spicy for you, and just use the honey.
