      Top Tips:<\/p>\n

      No matter if you call this millionaire bacon or billionaire bacon, everyone will agree that this pig candy is yummy! I like to use dark brown sugar for this recipe as it makes it a delicious treat.<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      Cooking the bacon in the air fryer is also a great way to keep the bacon grease separate from the bacon, as it will fall through the bottom of the air fryer basket.<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      But did you know that you can actually use that leftover bacon grease for other air fryer recipes and cooking recipes? I’ll save it and store it in a jar and then use it for cooking at other times. (It’s really good to use when you’re popping popcorn!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      FAQS<\/h2>\n
      \n
      What is the key to getting crispy bacon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      You have to be sure that you give the bacon room in the air fryer. No part of the bacon, not even the side of the bacon pieces, should be touching. Place the bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and you’ll get perfectly crispy bacon each and every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Can I use regular cut bacon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Absolutely. You can use any cut of bacon that you want. The biggest difference between regular cut bacon and thick cut bacon is that the regular cut will get crispier quicker. This is because it’s thinner. Thick cut bacon tends to have a balance of crispy outer edges with a juicy center, which is what makes this million dollar bacon priceless, in our opinion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Can I use frozen bacon for this recipe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      For the best results, the bacon needs to be thawed and ready to cook. Frozen bacon will release excess moisture, and the sugar mixture isn’t going to stick well to the outside of it. If all the sugar falls off during the frying process, you’re left with just plain bacon – which might still be yummy, but it’s not what we’re going for with this recipe!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
