Sugar and Spice Fancy Bacon

Preheat the broiler to 400 degrees (F) but leave the oven rack in the middle. Line a cookie sheet with foil and place cooling racks over the top of the foil. I think a broiler pan would work too, but I’ve found this method the easiest to clean up and the fat drips below nicely.

In a shallow bowl mix together the sugar and spices. Gently press each slice of bacon into the spice and sugar mixture pressing it on to coat. Lay each strip over the racks. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on the middle rack. Turn the bacon slices over and cook for another 6-8 minutes. If you would like very crisp bacon, you could move the rack up after the bacon has cooked through and cook for another minute to make the bacon nice and crispy.

**You can certainly add more cayenne if you like things extra spicy.
