Ingredients

1 lb pound bacon
2-8 ounce cans whole water chestnuts
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce
½-1 teaspoon sriracha sauce optional
chopped cilantro for garnish optional

Instructions

Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap ½ slice around each water chestnut.
Secure with a toothpick.
Place water chestnuts on a wire rack on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
Bake in 375 oven for 30-35 minutes.
Remove from oven and dip in sauce. Place back on rack and put back in the oven to bake another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, place on serving platter, and enjoy (or serve to your guests!)

Notes

This should be enough sauce to dip all of the appetizers into. If you want more for dipping, just double the sauce recipe.
