Preheat oven to 375.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Whisk espresso, maple syrup and hot sauce together in a bowl. Add bacon and let it soak up the espresso mixture for 5 minutes.

Lay bacon strips on wire rack (it's ok if they touch), and bake for 25 minutes. Brush with remaining espresso mixture and bake for another 8-10 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, serve immediately.
