For extra crispy bacon, try placing the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven for the last few minutes of cooking. If you prefer chewier bacon, reduce the cooking time by a few minutes. Don't discard the rendered bacon fat! Save it for cooking eggs, roasting vegetables, or adding flavor to other dishes.
