If you want to push the boat out cubes of beef fillet would be good too wrapped in bacon, as would roasted new potatoes, and for anyone who loves seafood, scallops and prawns work well too.
Method
- Preheat the grill.
- Stretch the bacon using a large knife then cut the slice in half about 10cm x 3cm lengths. Wrap a piece of bacon around a cube of chicken and thread onto a cocktail stick. Repeat with the remaining bacon and chicken.
- Heat a frying pan until hot and add the chicken and bacon skewers, brown on both sides for 2 minutes, then remove and place on a lined baking tray. Cook under the hot grill for a further 8 minutes or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix together the marinade ingredients and serve immediately.
