Notes
Crispy bacon is best for this recipe as it adds a better texture and flavor than bacon that is partially cooked or undercooked.
If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika can be substituted.
The aioli needs to chill in the fridge in order for the flavors to develop and to make sure it firms up to a spreadable texture.
Use a sanitized jar or airtight container to prevent the spread of any possible bacteria.
