Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts with Spicy Mustard Dip

Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts are a delightful sweet and spicy appetizer served with a flavorful spicy mustard dip.

Ingredients

• 8 strips bacon
• 1/3 cups soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 cans 8 ounce size water chestnuts rinsed and drained
• ¾ cups Greek yogurt
• 2½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut bacon strips in half lengthwise, then cut each thin strip into 3 equal sections for a total of 48 pieces. Set aside.

2. Mix soy sauce and honey in a medium mixing bowl. Add water chestnuts and turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even flavor.

3. Preheat oven to 400°F and place a metal rack inside a large, rimmed baking sheet. Spray rack with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

4. Drain water chestnuts, but reserve the marinade. Wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon, then repeat with a second strip on the opposite side. Secure both pieces of bacon with a toothpick and place on baking rack. Repeat with remaining water chestnuts.

5. Baste each appetizer with reserved marinade. Bake for 20 minutes, brush with more marinade and bake for 10-15 minutes more.

6. In a small bowl combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and parsley in a small bowl. Season salt and black pepper, to taste. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
