FAQs

Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Yes, but the taste and texture will be a little different. Turkey bacon won’t get as crispy.

Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes! Set your air fryer to 400°F and cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

How can I make these speak the way I prefer?
You can easily play with the sauce by adding more honey for sweetness or different spices to fit your taste.
