If you are using a chorizo that is firm and can be cut, cut off the ends of the chorizo and slice the sausage crosswise into 3 equal pieces, about 3/4 inch each in length (remove the skin if it is tough) Cut each of these pieces in half lengthwise and in half again, to make a total of 12 "sticks" (If your chorizo is thick, these pieces may be to large for the dates, in which case cut in half again) Insert each chorizo piece into a date and close the date around it. Wrap a strip of bacon around each date. Secure, if necessary, with a toothpick.

Wipe out the skillet, then heat the oil at least 1/2 inch deep to about 380* F. Dust the dates with flour, then dip them into the egg and immediately into the hot oil. Fry until golden, turning once.

I've only been able to find the soft greasy chorizo, so I
cook the chorizo in a frying pan until it starts getting
dark, then drain off the fat.
Using a pastry bag fitted with a #12 cake decorators round
tip makes it easy to fill the dates, just be sure to not
over fill.
If you are using a chorizo that is firm and can be cut, cut
off the ends of the chorizo and slice the sausage crosswise
into 3 equal pieces, about 3/4 inch each in length (remove
the skin if it is tough) Cut each of these pieces in half
lengthwise and in half again, to make a total of 12 "sticks"
(If your chorizo is thick, these pieces may be to large for
the dates, in which case cut in half again) Insert each
chorizo piece into a date and close the date around it.
Wrap a strip of bacon around each date. Secure, if
necessary, with a toothpick. (May be prepared ahead) Place
the wrapped dates in a skillet with the seam side of the
bacon down and saute until the bacon is golden. Turn and
brown on the other side. Drain on paper towels. You may now
serve the dates, or proceed to coat and fry them. If you are
continuing, this step may also be done in advance. Wipe out
the skillet, then heat the oil at least 1/2 inch deep to
about 380* F. Dust the dates with flour, then dip them into
the egg and immediately into the hot oil. Fry until golden,
turning once. Or better, use a deep-fryer. Drain and serve
right away.

I only have a few memories of eating meat, but I swear I had
something very like this on the Great Barrier reef. I was
only 9 and spoiled my dinner snarfing these up. blacksalt
that night my brother, the same brother who nearly drowned
off the Algave, swam out to the boat from shore and the boat
hands hollared and swore about sharks while I stood along
side eyes wide from the blue language.

Oh I DO love these things! I had more than my share and even
managed to take some home in a baggie. They are very good
warmed up and eaten for breakfast! Thanks Koko!

I'm just too lazy to do the next step so I serve them after
cooking off the bacon. I've been curious as to how much
better they would be by proceeding to the next step.

I do hope you try them.
I made 100 of them for the cookin (really more than that,
but quality control you know) and I brought home about 10.
