Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water begins to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, honey, vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites, dividing it evenly among the halves.
Garnish each egg with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Jilted Eggs!
