Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I’m obsessed with the bold Honey buffalo flavor that shines through every crispy Bacon Twist I make. This dish reminds me of my favorite buffalo wings and hot wings with a twist. I enjoy the mix of textures and flavors that make these Bacon Twists my go-to snack.
Ingredients / Tools You’ll Need
I always start with 1 LB of bacon trimmed of any loose fat for the best texture. I mix 1 C Buffalo , 2 TBSP sweet bbq sauce, 2 TBSP honey, and 1 tsp black pepper mix in a large bowl. My trusty tools include an airtight container, a wire rack or baking sheet, and a paper towel for prepping the bacon.
Instructions
Preparation
I begin by trimming any loose fat from the bacon to ensure a lean start. I then make my marinade in a large bowl by combining honey buffalo sauce, hot sauce, and sweet bbq sauce for a perfect balance.

Cooking
I pour the lb bacon mix marinade over the bacon in an airtight container and let it marinate overnight. In the morning, I twist each slice into Bacon Twists, making sure each one is coated in the sauce mixture. I preheat my smoker to 400°F and arrange the Bacon Twists in a single layer on a wire rack before smoking them for 45-60 mins.
Serving Suggestions
I serve my Honey buffalo Bacon Twists with homemade sauces like ranch or blue cheese, that perfectly complement the dish. They pair wonderfully with chicken wings or crispy wings for a full flavor experience. I also drizzle a little hot honey and hot wing sauce over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
