Description

Bacon wrapping is a style of food preparation, where bacon is wrapped around other ingredients or dishes,[1] and either grilled, fried, or baked.

Many of the wrapped foods, such as livers and asparagus, cook more quickly than bacon does, and when preparing such dishes it is necessary to part-cook the bacon separately, before wrapping the filling and cooking the complete dish.[2][3] Bacon-wrapped foods can include

chicken nuggets, pork chops, tenderloin and shrimp.[4]
