Spicy Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Smoked Oysters

Preheat oven to 400ºF. On a tray lined with foil, place a cookie cooling rack on top. Cut bacon slices in half and lay very close to each other. Mix the brown sugar with the chili flakes and chili powder. Mix in 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Crumble the mixture on top of the bacon and covering as evenly as you can. Drizzle the bacon with the remaining maple syrup.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes until you are able to work with the bacon. Flip a slice over and place a oyster on the bottom of the bacon. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. Place them back onto the rack and bake an additional 10 minutes or until starting to crisp.

Cool slightly and serve.
