Did you ever want to be growed up and think you was like a kid in a candy store, but they wasn't selling bacon
0:04
Hey, we got you fixed up because we are candying some bacon. Pig candy. You won't have to go to the store. You can get it right here
0:11
It's oh so easy and oh so good, but it's a little spicy. Come on, I'll let the pigs squeal
0:17
good morning and welcome to the backyard yep morning i don't know when it is when you're
0:33
watching this but oh god has blessed us with a beautiful morning and what are we talking about
0:38
pig candy candied bacon bacon bacon bacon and more bacon but we're going to give it a glaze
0:43
just a little bit of pepper and a little bit of flavor. This stuff is better than beef jerky
0:48
You can carry it around in your pocket anytime you want. Everybody in the whole town will follow you around
0:52
because they'll be going, is that bacon I smell? Hey, it is the best thing
0:58
So easy. We're going to walk you through every bit of it. And ooh, I am so ready for this
1:03
And so let's talk about some candied bacon. Candied bacon. But whoops, I left out a very important word
1:10
What are we talking about? Candied jalapeno bacon. Because I like it to have a little bite
1:15
Y'all know the cowboy gonna throw some heat in there if he gets a chance. But who is the star of the show
1:21
It's not me. It's not the beagle. No. Is it Major? No, it's not even Major
1:26
Who it is? It is my favorite friend, the hog. Yeah. Thick cut bacon
1:33
See right there? Thick cut. Now, if you want to do this and make it even better and kick it up a notch or two over the top of the flavor ladder
1:41
just go ahead and use our cured bacon recipe that you can make right there at home then you can slice
1:47
that stuff as thick as you want on your own accord and it is really good but I'll be looking around
1:53
here Shan guess we're gonna have to go to the garden and get a jalapeno sorry about that Andy
1:58
and Shan but you viewers y'all just go with me because we're gonna go pick one wait wait wait I
2:03
I gotta follow you. Jalapeno. Now, I just need two for this
2:12
Look at those little guys. Look at this little fella here. He's just sitting down there
2:17
Heat for the treat. Thank y'all for going to the garden with me
2:21
and picking them little jewels. Now, you'll be careful when you're handling jalapenos
2:26
Remember, don't scratch your eyes or your butt. Both of them are going to set you into one of them I want to cry moods I promise you
2:36
But get you one of them slap choppers whatever you got and just dice them up really good
2:40
Now I was running me some experimentation on how I wanted to get the heat into this bacon a little
2:47
Now I tried me some of that you know them diced pickled jalapenos and poured some of the juice in there
2:53
A little bit of the jalapeno and let them soak you know 45 minutes. And then I tried just putting the peppers in there with some what we're just gonna go ahead and I'm gonna show you some Woosh-a-sha-shar
3:04
What's your sister sauce? That's what everybody tell me to call it and I need to know what y'all do call it
3:09
Do you call it the W sauce? What it's Lee and Perrin's this is what I call Justin Wilson's favorite elixir right here
3:16
And we're gonna use whatever was in the bottle now I didn know what was in the bottle was exactly two and a half tablespoons Uh I do know that for sure Now I want you to just go ahead and just rake them jalapenos over in there And then we just gonna stir it around the bottom of the pan We gonna have to get our hands in there
3:36
And if you want to because you might be sensitive to the heat to them jalapenos get you some of them rubber gloves now
3:42
Let's talk about member thick cut bacon now I like it to be at least that thick but I would even like it thicker if they want to cut it
3:53
That's why I really like to use our bacon video and go ahead and cut this stuff to where it is what
3:59
Let me just show you about doubled in size This way when you have it sure it was gonna make you a longer cook time
4:07
But you gonna have more to chew on and more flavor So just get you some in there and then we want you to just to just mash them around get all that goodness in there
4:16
The recipe is for one pound of bacon. You make as much as you want
4:20
But however much you make ain't never gonna be enough I promise so bear with me
4:25
We'll get these soaking and after you get all this on them and all the baking done
4:29
We're gonna let it sit in an icebox about 45 minutes We got to stop right there. I'm still getting people saying what is an icebox
4:39
I mean Icebox terminology come back from way back in the early 1900s
4:45
maybe late 1890s, where you had a wooden box and a man was driving a little wagon down the road
4:51
which was called what? An ice wagon. And he would take the tongs and bring it in there to the house
4:56
set it in the icebox, shut it there, and you would have what? Refrigeration
5:01
Now today it is called the fridge, refrigerator, or something like that, but icebox is what we're going to call it here
5:07
I just wanted to make that explanatory to you. Well, we got a cup of brown sugar
5:10
Now, you could be using white sugar, but no. Light brown sugar is what we're after
5:16
Just regular old table sugar. You could make it work on here, but it ain't going to give you that glaze that you really need and that caramelization
5:24
So get the light brown sugar, dump her in there. Over here on this side, we have some onion powder and some garlic powder
5:30
But guess what? Kent puts in his also. A little bit of cinnamon because we're talking about candied bacon
5:37
Uh-huh. So just go ahead and dump her in there. I want you just to get it sort of mixed up and you're gonna have to get back in there with your hands again because we don't want this
5:45
To be all clumping up now you can do this One of two ways now you can go ahead and add your coarse ground black pepper
5:55
Or you can sprinkle it on at the last me. I do neither
5:59
I go half in oh Half out This way I know that everybody's gonna get some and then I'm gonna sprinkle a little more on there
6:08
Now since this is mixed up and the bacon's in there sitting and loving I get a lot of people asking Fogo charcoal
6:15
Why do you like this Fogo charcoal and what is it? Well, it's a hardwood lump that is burnt so long a piece of wood and then starved from oxygen and then shipped to Cowboy Kent
6:25
Rollins or wherever you may be across the United States or Canada. This is what I usually use most of the time
6:30
All right, you can see where this says Super premium, you know, and then we have premium now the super premium
6:38
It's been sort of hand-picked with a whole lot of bigger pieces in here than what you would call this here
6:45
But you can see it's still pretty good size. Are they paying me for this video
6:50
No I just telling you it good stuff get you some the hog has come back out here now If you doing this in the house I gonna go ahead and tell you go ahead and preheat that oven to about 375 and folks this is a very important part if you going to do it inside or outside now me i got the hasty bake fired up here got me some good hardwood lump
7:10
in there and we're going to add a little smoke to it as we go but if you look on the sack that
7:15
bacon will say hickory smoked or some kind of smoked bacon i'm not trying to give it a whole
7:20
lot of smoke I'm just going to add a little apple to it right there at the last so let's go ahead and take this hog out of there you can shake him you can
7:29
rake him whatever you want to do but that's what I'd call about the right
7:33
amount and you can see that green in there a glistening little that good jalapeno done done it all yes now you can leave it on there if you want to go
7:42
like this so go ahead and layer out here because we need to get everybody in
7:49
their position I'm gonna start with the seasoning we mixed up and I just need
7:54
you to sprinkle just right down the center come all the way down through
7:58
there because folks we can gonna add some more you got to get that brown
8:03
sugar mashed down in there all the way because we want it to stay a holt and
8:07
make things sweet and caramelized done and done it is guess what we we're gonna
8:14
just cover this up with a little piece of aluminum foil or cup towel whatever
8:17
you got and just leave it on the counter for about 15 and 20 minutes till you make sure that
8:21
that grill is heated, cleaned, and old, and I'll meet you back at the fire. Greased, old, ready to
8:27
go. You see me put a little apple wood in there because I just want a little more of that flavor
8:31
of that smoke. Now you can do this in the house, remember, but if you do, you're cooking it just
8:35
like this right here, sliding it right in there on the wire rack in the pan. And for easier cleanup
8:42
if I was you, I'd put me some foil in that pan because that caramelization, it'll stick down
8:46
out of that pan all the heat's on this end okay now you could cook this over direct heat but ha
8:52
you're gonna burn it up too quick so i just need you to go down here and lay it on this end
8:57
