Introduction
A simple yet incredibly delicious snack featuring salty pretzel sticks wrapped in pork belly bacon, slow-cooked on the grill to crispy perfection. It is the ultimate party appetizer that pairs beautifully with an ice-cold beer.
Step 1
Take a slice of regular-cut pork belly bacon and wrap it tightly around a pretzel stick, winding it spirally from one end to the other.
Step 2
Prepare your charcoal grill for indirect cooking, targeting a temperature of around 300°F (149°C). Place aluminum foil on the grate beneath the cool side to catch the dripping grease.
Step 3
Lay the bacon-wrapped pretzels on the grill grate over the indirect heat zone (opposite the hot coals).
Step 4
Close the grill lid and cook at 300°F (149°C) for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the bacon renders its fat, shrinks tightly around the pretzels, and becomes crispy.
Step 5
Remove the cooked bacon pretzels from the grill, place them on a cutting board, and let them cool down slightly to crisp up before serving.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Regular-cut bacon is recommended over thick-cut bacon, as it wraps much easier and crisps up more quickly.
Using indirect heat is crucial to prevent flare-ups and avoid burning the pretzel sticks.
Letting the bacon pretzels cool for a few minutes after grilling helps the bacon tighten up and become crunchier.
