Рецепт Sweet Chili Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts
I wanted to make some bacon wrapped water chestnuts, but when I made them, I did not want to use ketchup for the glazing sauce. I've done that before and it was just way too much ketchup for me (and I do love ketchup!). So, I went on an internet search to see what other kind of sauces were used to coat these little babies with.
I found a recipe on allrecipes.com that used mayonnaise, chili sauce and brown sugar. I didn't have regular chili sauce but I did have some Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce. So, I mixed it up minus the brown sugar. I tasted it and it was pretty good but I felt it needed a little more heat to it so I also added some sirachi! Turned out delicious. These have that sweet hint with a hit of heat. Combine that with the salty smoky bacon and a crunchy water chestnut and you have a winner!
If your looking for a different take on these water chestnuts, this is a great one to make. Great for any type of party you may be hosting (or bringing a goodie to!).
