Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts.

Marinade:
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup vegetable oil (best oil for this)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. pepper

Marinate several cans of water chestnuts (2-3/the above proportions) for a few hours...stir occasionally to mix-in the oil.

STEPS:

1. Wrap 1/2 slice of bacon around chestnuts; hold in place with toothpick.
2. Coat with brown sugar.  Works well to dip both sides in a dish of brown sugar...
3. Broil @ 550 degrees for 10 minutes (flip half way through).
