Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut bacon* into ½-inch pieces. Heat a medium dry, ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add bacon; cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until beginning to crisp, 6-8 minutes. Add 1 tsp sugar to pan and stir to coat. Cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved and bacon is glazed, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat; using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate (skip the paper towels—the candied bacon would stick!). Wash out pan.
