Ingredients

Serves: 2
Time: 30 minutes

  • 4 thick cut rashers of bacon (Traditional or maple)
  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 2 spring onions, cut into 2 inch lengths

For the glaze

  • 2/3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

For the slaw

  • ¼ of a cabbage head, sliced very thinly
  • 1 lime
  • Handful coriander
  • Sesame oil

Method

  1. Slice the bacon rasher in half sideways, and roll up tightly
  2. Place the chicken thighs in between 2 pieces of parchment paper and, using a rolling pin, bash them until they are flattened then cut each chicken thigh into 2 and season with salt, pepper and a dash of soy sauce. Roll them tightly
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least an hour
  4. Now, using 2 skewers, thread the rolled up bacon onto the skewer, follow with a piece of spring onion, then a piece of chicken. Repeat this until each skewer has 2 pieces of bacon and 2 pieces of chicken. Season with salt and a little drizzle of sesame oil.
  5. Mix the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar together in a small bowl then brush the skewers with a little oil.
  6. For the slaw, slice the cabbage thinly and place in a bowl with the lime juice and add a pinch of salt. Stir through some chopped coriander just before serving.
  7. Leave to sit while you cook the skewers.
  8. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat then add the skewers. Cook for a total of 10 minutes, 5 minutes on each side, turning every 30 seconds,
  9. Start to baste with the soy sauce mixture after 5 minutes. The skewers will get golden and glossy.
  10. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional) and serve with the slaw.
