A juicier, tropical take on devils on horseback, with lychees in place of dates. The chilli salt and the lime juice really work together to bring out the sweetness of the lychees.

  • 6 thin slices streaky bacon, halved crossways
  • Lime wedges (optional), to serve
Chilli salt
  • 1 tbsp salt flakes
  • ½ tsp chilli powder

Method

  • 1
    Preheat a barbecue (preferably charcoal) to medium-high. Wrap a piece of bacon around each lychee and secure with a skewer.
  • 2
    For chilli salt, combine ingredients in a bowl.
  • 3
    Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until charred and bacon is cooked (5 minutes). Serve with chilli salt and lime wedges.
