Line your microwave-safe plate with a few layers of paper towel, about 3-4 will work. (Or you can use newspaper as the bottom layers with paper towel as the top few layers.)
Place the bacon in a single layer on the paper towels, then cover with 1 or 2 paper towels.
Microwave on high for 5 to 7 minutes, depending on how many pieces of bacon and how crispy you like it.
