"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Wrap chestnut in bacon and stick with a toothpick.

Put a rack on the cookie sheet so chestnuts are not sitting in grease and bake at 350º for 25 minutes.

You may have to cook longer depending on how crunchy you like your bacon.

While bacon wrapped chestnuts are cooking mix brown sugar, white sugar and bbq sauce and heat in a pan.

When melted pour over the bacon wrapped chestnuts and let marinade for 2-3 hours or overnight.

To serve put in oven at 400º for 15 minutes.
