Sweet Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

This is a great summer appetizer to share with friends. I recently took it to a BBQ and everyone loved and asked for the recipe.

Here is what you need:
toothpicks
1 can whole water chestnuts-drained
bacon-cut each strip in 1/2
1 can pineapple chunks
teriyaki sauce- I highly recommend East-West Sweet Ginger Teriyaki sauce, it has a purple foil top and can be found at Hy-Vee or King Soopers in the Asian isle- my whole family uses it, great on steaks and chicken!
brown sugar-optional

Directions:
In bowl add teriyaki sauce, a little pineapple juice, and water chestnuts, the longer it sits the more flavor. Once the bacon strips are cut in half, place a water chestnut and piece of pineapple and roll up and place on cookie sheet. Continue until water chestnuts are gone. I like to sprinkle brown sugar on top of each wrap for extra flavor. Bake under broil for 10-15 minutes or until crispy, keep and eye on them! If your cookie sheet does not have sides, you may want to put foil on the rack below because of the bacon grease. Use the toothpicks to take off cookie sheet and place on paper towel to drain extra grease and cool.

Enjoy!
