Devils on Horseback is a retro British classic that never fails to impress. Sweet, plump prunes are stuffed with seasoned chicken livers, wrapped in smoky bacon, and grilled until crispy and caramelized. The combination of sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavors makes these irresistible one-bite appetizers. Often served at holiday parties, cocktail hours, or as a sophisticated starter, these little “devils” are always one of the first things to disappear from the platter! Why You’ll Love This Recipe
