Ingredients

2 cans of water chestnuts 8 ounces each
1 lb bacon
1 tablespoon butter
4 large cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup brandy
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
½ cup ketchup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the bacon into half and wrap each slice of bacon around one water chestnut, securing it with a toothpick. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet covered with aluminum foil.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Turn the heat off and add brandy. Turn the heat back to medium-low and reduce the brandy mixture by ½. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, and ketchup. Simmer down until slightly thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.
Bake wrapped water chestnuts for 30-40 minutes or until the bacon is golden brown and slightly crisp. Baste with the sauce every 10 minutes.
