LET’S GET COOKING

1.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
2.
Pour beer in a skillet over medium to low heat. Place brats in the skillet and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until brats are no longer pink inside.
3.
Remove pan from heat.
4.
Cut each brat into 4 equal pieces.
5.
Cut strips of bacon in half.
6.
Wrap each brat bite in a half slice of bacon and secure with skewer. Skewers should be soaked in water prior to this step to prevent them from charring while cooking. Place bites on a non-stick lined cookie sheet.
7.
To make the glaze, combine brown sugar, yellow mustard, soy sauce, Chain Reaction and Whole Hog seasonings until smooth.
8.
Coat each bite generously in glaze.
9.
Bake glazed bites 20 minutes, turning once halfway through and basting as needed with extra glaze. If you want them extra crunchy, add another 3 to 5 minutes.
10.
Serve with mustards of your choice for dipping.
