Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F, 225°C or oven mark 7. See note 3.
- Prep bacon by cutting each slice into four equal pieces. Fry crisp, drain and reserve for later use.
- Whip heavy (36% cream) until it hold a peak.
- Gently fold in you 3/4 of your chili sauce. Be careful not to knock down your cream. Taster the mix. Now you can adjust by adding additional sauce. We prefer the full amount.
- Using a baking pan 13"x9" (22x35cm) or equivalent size oval baking dish, place the chopped or shredded chicken in the bottom. Next, sprinkle the Italian Herb Seasoning over the chicken (if using). See note 4.
- Peel and cut the banana in half. Next, cut the half long ways. For each banana you should have four pieces. Place the four bananas on top of the chicken with the cut side down. Repeat until all of the chicken is covered.
- using a spatula spread the cream and chili sauce mixture evenly over the bananas and to all sides of your baking dish.
- Place dish in the center rack of your oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. As an option, you can remove the dish from the oven after it gets lightly brown and scatter the peanuts on top then finish baking. See note 5.
- Once the cream mixture (top) is golden brown, remove the dish and check internal temperature. It should read at least 165°F (74°C). If it's very brown, but not to 165°F (74°C) cover the cooking dish with aluminum foil and bake for a few minutes. Place Flying Jacob on a cooling rack for at least 10 minutes to cool.
- Prior to serving, scatter about half of the bacon pieces on top of the Flying Jacob. Serve with nuts on the side or if preferred, on top of the dish.
FLYGANDE JACOB (FLYING JACOB)
An 'oddball' recipe of Swedish origin that I've adapted slightly. The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name. The recipe was first published in Allt om mat in 1976.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use a whole chicken that is about 3 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
- Prepare the chicken properly: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings to adhere to the chicken and will also help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your chicken its flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you like. There are many different marinades to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you love.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will also help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
