I make this spice mix in bulk because I LOVE using this on chicken or fish! I do like to add more chilli powder, but adjust to your taste! Whatever you have left over - add some salt to it and use it to season your proteins!! It's simple but good!

Ingredients
- 10 slices bacon Each mix should be enough for about 10 slices.
Sweet & Spicy
- 2 tbsp ground black pepper
- ½ tbsp cayenne pepper
- 63 g brown sugar 5 tbsp. The sugar caramelizes and helps create a surface for the spices to stick to and enhances the spice flavour too!
Sweet
- 100 g brown sugar ½ cup
- 1 tsp black pepper Or less if preferred.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. The spicy mix in one bowl, and the sweet in a different one.
- Lay bacon on wire rack that is placed inside a Baking Pan.
- Sprinkle either the Sweet & Spicy or the Sweet Bacon rub liberally on the bacon.
- Place Bacon trays in the preheated oven until it is cooked to the desired done-ness.
- I like it extra crispy - so keep it in there for about 20 minutes. It will depend on your oven.
