Combine the chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Rub the corn evenly with the vegetable oil and season with half of the seasoning mixture.
Wrap each ear of corn with 3 slices of bacon, slightly overlapping the slices.
Place each bacon-wrapped ear of corn on a separate piece of aluminum foil. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the bacon.
Drizzle the honey evenly over the bacon and spread it with a basting brush.
Wrap the foil tightly around each ear of corn and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the corn is tender.
Let the corn cool for a few minutes. Carefully unwrap the foil and serve warm.

Notes
You can use maple syrup instead of honey in this recipe if you prefer.This corn is best served fresh when the bacon is crispy but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The bacon will get softer when it's stored.
