Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Instructions

Cut 16 ounces bacon strips in half so that you have 2 to 5-inch pieces.

Wrap the bacon around 16 ounces drained whole water chestnuts and secure it with a toothpick. Place all wrapped chestnuts into a container like a 9x9 pan or deep pie dish.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup lemon lime soda, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Pour the mixture over the wrapped water chestnuts, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Drain and discard the marinade. Place the wrapped water chestnuts on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes until bacon is crisp.
