First things first, preheat your broiler to high heat, because we're talking scorching hot here. You'll want to line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a broiler pan to make cleanup a breeze, trust me on this one. I mean, bacon grease is no joke, folks.
Now, it's time to talk bacon. You can use any type of bacon you like, but let's be real, thick-cut is the way to go. It's like the difference between a Porsche and a bike, one is just more luxurious. And don't even get me started on maple bacon, it's like the Beyoncé of bacons – flawless.
Place your bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving some space between each slice. Don't overcrowd, folks, you want to give that bacon some breathing room. Think of it like a bacon party, everyone needs some personal space.
