Using raw bacon…I’m going to bake for about an hour, at 350, is this right?
maybe I ought to cook longer at a lower temp to make sure bacon is cooked through?
I did not precook the bacon…they are already in the oven so so going back….
I meant no going back. This is going to appear above my question, right?
No Bacon will not take that long…I do bacon in the oven all the time. At 400 it only takes approximately 15 minutes to cook it crisp. The other person is right, that is WAY to long for oysters
Here is an idea, or guideline for the waterchestnuts
BACON WRAPPED WATER CHESTNUTS
2 (10 oz.) cans water chestnuts
1 (5 oz.) bottle soy sauce
Granulated sugar
1 lb. bacon
Marinate water chestnuts in soy sauce for at least 3 hours, turning often. Roll in sugar. Wrap each water chestnuts in 1/2 strip bacon (don’t stretch bacon). Secure bacon with toothpicks. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bacon is partially crisp. Serve hot. Can be made and serve. Chicken livers may be substituted for water chestnuts. Makes 35 to 40.
And here is an easy guideline for the oysters
Angels on Horseback (Broiled Bacon Wrapped Oysters)
24 medium-size raw oysters, shucked and drained*
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 clove garlic, minced
Coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce or Tabasco sauce (to taste)
6 slices lean bacon, cut in half
12 buttered toast rounds (optional)
Lemon wedges
Preheat the broiler of your oven. Drain oysters.
In a bowl, mix the wine, garlic, salt, pepper, and hot sauce together. Add drained oysters and toss to coat; let marinate 20 minutes.
Cut the bacon in half and cook in a microwave oven for approximately 1 minute or pan fry until the edges begin to curl but the bacon is still flexible. Drain well.
Angels on Horseback ready to bakeRemove oysters from marinade, Wrap each oyster in a bacon strip and secure with a damp toothpick or cocktail pick. Place the bacon-wrapped oysters on a broiler pan. Broil, until the bacon is crisp and the edges of the oysters have curled, turning once to cook both sides evenly. Remove from oven.
NOTE: You may also cook these "angels" on an outdoor or range top grill.
Serve with the cocktail pick, or the pick can be removed and the oyster placed on a buttered toast round. Serve with lemon wedges.
Makes 24 appetizers.

Mr. Pants:
Bake until it smells like bacon for a while – an hour sounds like too much time. Go by sight and smell not the clock.
Next time cook the bacon 1/2 way first.
(What the heck kind of name is Mr. Pants?)
