Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on a plate or tray. You can cut the bacon in half if needed to fit in the air fryer basket.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, bourbon, and maple syrup until well combined.

Brush the bacon slices generously with the bourbon glaze on both sides, ensuring they are well-coated.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Place the glazed bacon slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.

Once the bacon is golden and crispy, remove it from the air fryer. Be cautious, as the sugar glaze can burn easily.

Let the bacon cool for a minute or two before serving. The glaze will harden as it cools, creating a perfect candied coating. Enjoy!
