Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Drain the water chestnuts and pat them dry. Cut each strip of bacon crosswise in half.

2. Wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

3. Arrange the wrapped chestnuts in a shallow dish in a single layer and pour the teriyaki sauce over them so they are coated.

4. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate.

5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

6. Lift the wrapped chestnuts out of the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them on the baking sheet seam side down.

7. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway, until the bacon is crisp and cooked through to 145°F (63°C).
