Bourbon Bacon: The Best Thing You’ll Ever Air Fry

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F.

Place a coffee filter in the air fryer to catch grease.

Add bacon to the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 380°F.

In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, bourbon flavored maple syrup, and red pepper flakes to create a glaze.

Stir the glaze until well combined.

After 10 minutes, check the bacon and then return it to the air fryer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to make the glaze sticky.

Remove the bacon from the air fryer and place it on a cooling rack.

Let the bacon cool before serving.

Use the candied bacon as a garnish for an old-fashioned cocktail or a burger.
