Chicken breast wrapped in bacon kebabs, maybe I have a one track mind, when someone starts talking about wrapping breasts up, that billboard from the nineties springs to mind

Anyway, these are dead simple, just prep them, then chuck them on a grill.

Step 1: Chop up some chicken breast into kebab size chunks. Marinade your chicken in a piri-piri marinade. I personally buy bottles of Nando's sauce, dilute with a little water and fresh lime juice, then add some olive oil and salt.

Step 2: After marinading, wrap each chunk of breast in bacon then pack tightly on a skewer. However be sure to leave some space on the skewer at the end as you'll need that space later. Sprinkle the kebabs with a rub of your choice, Cookshack spicy chicken works well.

Step 3: Chuck them on the grill. Start off cooking until the shape has set. I.e. cook on both sides but you're not aiming to finish them off. You can baste with a little more piri-piri (diluted and mixed with honey ) if you like. Once the shape has set, separate the wrapped chunks so there's a little clearance between each piece on the skewer. This ensures the bacon between each chunk crisps up and is why you need that extra space the skewer.

Step4: Continue to cook until the chicken reaches 165F internal.

Step 5: Tuck in

sorry Steve, but I've just got thoughts of plumb breasts in Wonderbra's after that......all the cooking stuff really didn't register ...sorry

where can we buy this rub Steve?

But dont you get clobbered by those lovely HM Revenue and customs on import duties

Import duties only apply over a cetain value, unfortunately even with orders less than the threshold, the shipping costs make things expensive. I'm afraid there's no way to make shipping rubs in from the States cheaply.

the best thing to do is talk with suppliers about flat rate boxes and see what they can cram in one.

are there really NO outlets for these pre made US rubs in the UK?

I've used Spicewine before now. Jay's a great bloke and will cram everything he can into a flat rate box for you if you're looking at smaller quantities.

I also use the Kansas City BBQ Store sometimes and I know the guys over at Smoking Guns and The Slabs so I can supply you with some of these rubs if you want. These rubs are some of the best around. I don't know what I have in at the moment, but will be placing an order with both some time later in the year. I vac pack and freeze my rubs as soon as I get them so they keep very well.

Lee, Clair has my number, give me a call and I'll check what I've got, should be able to sort you out with some good rubs to try out.

Love it...

I wonder what injection went into those babies?
