Easy recipe steps:
1. Mix meat, egg, crumbs, cheese and Holy Smoke. 
2. Cut off the top and bottom of 3 onions, halve them and peel off the skin. 
3. Then separate the onion into layers. Use the larger outer layers. 4. Take a small handful of your minced meat mixture and roll into 6 balls, placing each ball in a layer of onion. 
5. Gently press another onion half onto the mixture. Here’s how to make an onion seal around your meatball. 6. Continue with the rest. 7. Wrap each “bomb” with 3 slices of bacon and secure with toothpicks. 
8. Light the BBQ with fire starters. Prepare for indirect grilling at 110 degrees. 9. Fry in a bowl with sides (to catch the fat) or place the balls on the grill and place a bowl of water underneath to collect the fat. Grill for approximately 40 minutes or until internal temperature is 55 degrees C. 
10. Glaze the balls with Sweet & Spicy BBQ marinade & sauce and bake until internally 65 degrees C. 
11. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with chopped chives or spring onions. 
12. Serve on a sturdy wooden board with all 5 Hot Chilli Challenge bottles and possibly extra Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce next to it.

Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef chipolata sausages
- 16 slices Breakfast bacon
- 150 grams of grated cheese
- BBQ skewers (±20 cm, soaked in water)
- NJB-Smokey BBQ Braai Shaker
- NJB-Chilli Garlic Sauce
- NJB-Honey Mustard Sauce
Easy recipe steps:
Moink torches are basically moinkballs on a skewer, savory little “lollipops” that make a tasty snack at your King’s Day garden party. We’ll show you how easy it is to make them.
1. Put the beef chipolata sausages on the skewers
2. Place 2 slices of bacon on each plate and wrap skewers with it.
3. Prepare the grill for 180°C indirect heat. 4. Grill the beef sticks indirectly for 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, mix the two sauces and add grated cheese here.
6. After 15 minutes, brush the skewers with the honey BBQ sauce mixture and grill indirectly for another 5 minutes. We first placed the sausages in aluminum trays so that the cheese does not leak too much into the barbecue.
7. Finally, grill the beef sticks over direct heat for about 3 minutes until crispy.
3. Butterfly chicken

Watch the live bbq video HERE > 1. Fill the barbecue 1/3 full with charcoal, place a cast iron grill on top and light it. 2. Wrap the bricks in aluminum foil. 3. Place the chicken on its belly (skin side) and cut out the backbone. 4. Then break the chicken flat by pressing on it and spread it all over with olive oil. 5. Finely chop 4 sage leaves and grate the peel of 1 lemon and put this in a flat dish, with the garlic and red pepper. 6. Grind some black pepper and chili flakes from the mill over it and some salt. 7. Turn the chicken on all sides through the herbs in the dish (if necessary, season the inside with pepper, salt and chili flakes) 8. Drizzle with some chili oil and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. 9. Then squeeze the juice of a lemon over it (just before grilling!). 10. In the meantime, heat the bricks on the grill of your barbecue. 11. When the grill and bricks are very hot, place the marinated chicken with the skin side (belly) down, on the indirect part of your barbecue. 12. Place the bricks on the chicken and grill the chicken for about 30 minutes until cooked and brown. (turn it halfway through and cover it with the bricks again) 13. (core temperature: at least 70 degrees. If you poke the thigh and clear, colourless liquid comes out, your chicken is cooked.)
