Crispy Wings, Cajun Chicken & A Show-Stopping Pork Loin

Shack Bites – Season 1 Episode 10 Welcome back to Shack Bites, the bi-weekly mini show from From The Shack, where Steve and Dec sit down to talk through the cooks, conversations, and community stories that have caught their attention this week. This episode is packed with flavour. Dec has been experimenting with a cook that sounds almost too good to be true. After smoking a batch of chicken wings low and slow, he finished them by crisping them up in rendered beef fat left over from a smash burger cook. The result? Crispy, smoky, flavour-packed wings that might just become a regular feature in his BBQ rotation. Meanwhile, Steve has been raising the bar once again with a stunning French-trimmed two-bone pork loin, served alongside butter-roasted fennel, crispy herb potatoes, and finished with a rich cider reduction sauce. A cook that proves BBQ and outdoor cooking can be every bit as refined as restaurant dining while still staying true to its fire-cooked roots. Dec's second cook of the week took inspiration from his recent Cajun adventures, with a flavour-packed Cajun chicken dish, paired with Mediterranean vegetables and a creamy Alfredo-style sauce. The lads discuss balancing bold flavours, building simple but effective meals, and why sometimes the best cooks are the ones that don't overcomplicate things. Alongside the cooks, Steve and Dec also dive into: Listener comments and feedback from last week's episode The conversations everyone has been having in the From The Shack WhatsApp community Popular BBQ topics currently trending amongst listeners Community updates and BBQ news What's been happening around the UK BBQ scene Plans for upcoming cooks, events, and content As always, it's a relaxed conversation between two mates who love BBQ, outdoor cooking, and the incredible community that comes with it.
