Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil, (for brushing)
  • 12 strips thick-cut bacon

Instruction:

  1. Clean the grill grates thoroughly with a wire brush to prevent sticking.
  2. Brush the grate with a light coating of canola oil or grapeseed oil.
  3. Heat the grill to moderate heat, about 325 degrees F.
  4. If you're cooking over charcoal, let the coals die down a bit before cooking the bacon.

  6. Lay the thick cut bacon strips on the oiled grill grate, perpendicular to the grate lines. If you’re cooking on a gas grill, turn down the burners to medium-low once you add the bacon.
  7. Watch the bacon very carefully and turn it several times using a long handled metal spatula, until it's nicely browned. 
  8. Drain on paper towels and serve.
