This is the way my mother made them when i was growing up, and they were always a treat. The sauce is from another recipe on here but I found that it perfectly balances out the saltiness of the bacon and soy sauce.
Ready in: 3 hours 55 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 2 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained
• 1/3 cup soy sauce

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup chile sauce
• toothpicks as needed

1. Marinate the water chestnuts in the soy sauce at least 3 hours, mixing occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Wrap each chestnut with a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place into a shallow baking dish.
