Instructions

1. Combine the salt, sweet paprika powder, hot paprika powder, white pepper, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried chilli in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Prepare the chicken breasts by trimming any excess fat, then cut into pieces about 5-7 cm long and roughly 1.5-2 cm thick.
3. Coat each chicken piece thoroughly with the Cajun spice mixture on all sides, shaking off any excess.
4. Wrap each spiced chicken piece with a slice of bacon, angling it so it wraps around completely.
5. Cut the wooden skewers in half and thread the wrapped chicken pieces onto them.
6. Heat a grill or pan to medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 8-10 min, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
