Bacon Bites |
You of course don't have to smoke these, you could pop them under the grill, but they won't be anywhere near as nice. The smokiness is what really gives these the edge, they're delicious! Well done to my Man :)
This made 11 Bites. You'll need skewers.
Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast (corn fed all the way here)
Streaky Bacon (half a rasher per chicken cube)
130g Gouda
Chilli Pepper (one pinch per bite)
Sugar (one pinch per bite)
Maple Syrup (optional)
Fresh Lime Juice (a squeeze per bite)
Pecan Wood Chips
Bourbon Soaked Oak Wood Chips
Directions:
- If using wooden skewers, put them in water so soak for a few minutes
- Cut the chicken into 1" cubes
Corn Fed Chicken |
- Cut the bacon rashers in half
- Remove skewers from that water and pat dry with kitchen towel
- Wrap the bacon around the chicken so the edges overlap and thread it onto the skewer at that point
So Easy |
- Repeat until all the chicken is covered with bacon and the bites are on the skewers
- Sprinkle each bite with a pinch of chilli powder and sugar
- Cut the gouda and leave the piece whole
- Make a tray with tin foil and put the gouda into the tray
Smoked Gouda Is The Best |
- Smoke for 15-20 minutes
It Gets Better |
- Slice the gouda in half and lay across the bites
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Seriously, They Are So Tasty |
- Squeeze the lime onto the bites and serve

This is a lovely recipe, but unless you are going to smoke the bites, I wouldn't bother. The smoking process is what makes these amazing, smoked gouda is one of our best discoveries yet. Sure, if you grilled them they would be nice, but nice doesn't really cut it here, I want full on amazing flavours.
I love picky bits most when it comes to food, so these appeal greatly. I have an idea for some future posts on that theme, so stay tuned if you like them too.
I'm a serious fan of smoked foods and I'm a serious fan of just how simple it is to smoke food at home. It's SO easy and the results are mouth watering. There's a stovetop smoking tutorial coming soon for anyone interested. If you aren't already familiar with smoking food, you'll see just how ridiculously simple it is.
