Servings: 4
Calories: 337kcal
Ingredients
- 12 bacon strips thick-cut
- 2 Tablespoons neutral oil for brushing grates
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat - 325°F using one side of the grill burners.
- Brush cleaned grill grates with a light coating of oil. We recommend putting oil on paper towel, holding towel with tongs and rubbing it across the grates.
- Place the bacon strips across the grates away from the direct heat source. Turn burners to medium-low and cook until done to your desired crispiness. Watch carefully to prevent burning, flip as needed to control cooking.
- Serve immediately or save for later.
Notes
- BBQ Bacon: Just before the bacon is done grilling, brush it with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Brown Sugar Bacon: Sprinkle some dark brown sugar over the bacon just before it’s done to add a sweet caramel flavor.
- Seasoned Bacon: Add some of our favorite BBQ rub to give the bacon even more flavor!
- Don’t forget to use thick-cut bacon! It works best for grilling.
- Grill it over indirect heat. This means that you should only light one side of your grill and place the bacon on the other side to cook it. If you grill bacon over the flames, it will burn.
- Keep an eye on it! Depending on how crispy you like your bacon, the cooking time can be short. Don’t leave it unattended because it can go from perfectly crispy to burnt in no time.
