Ingredients
- 1 Pound (lb) thick sliced hickory-smoked bacon, divided
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for optimal crispiness and even cooking.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the foil to allow the bacon to cook evenly and the fat to drip away.
- Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure the edges are touching or slightly overlapping to maximize space.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes to prevent overcooking.
- Use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
