  • 2 cans whole water chestnuts
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce

Notes

  • Make sure the wrapped water chestnuts are arranged in a single layer before baking so that they cook up evenly.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 4 days, and reheat in a 400°F oven until warmed through.
  • Try switching things up and use turkey bacon instead of pork bacon for a lighter version.
