BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• On a firm surface, place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to ½ inch thickness.
• Place in a zipper plastic bag with the barbecue sauce, squeeze out air before sealing the bag, massage the barbecue sauce into the chicken (from the outside of the bag). Marinate at least 2 hours up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with sides with foil, shiny side down (facing the baking sheet). Fit with a baking/cooling rack.
• Slice the jalapeno pepper open vertically and remove the stem and inside seeds. Note: wash hands thoroughly after doing this.Slice the pepper vertically into 1/8-inch wide strips. Cut each strip into 1-inch long segments. Set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade allowing any excess marinade to drain back into the bag (discard the marinade). Slice the chicken into 1-inch wide strips, and then again into 3 inch lengths.
• Place a chicken piece on a work surface and pat the top of the chicken piece with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the marinade. Spread 1 teaspoon of cream cheese to cover the top of the chicken piece.
• Place one jalapeno pepper 'stick' in the middle of the cream cheese spanning the width of the chicken.
• Fold the chicken piece in half with the cream cheese inside.
• Set one ½ slice of bacon on the work surface. Place a stuffed chicken piece with the open end facing down on the bacon and the open sides facing the bacon NOT outward (this allows the open ends to be covered by the bacon when rolled so the stuffing does not easily leak out when cooked).Leave about 1 inch from an end of the bacon.
• Gently pull the short end of the bacon over the chicken piece, then roll the chicken and bacon toward the opposite end of the bacon, pulling gently to stretch the bacon slightly as you roll.
• Fully enclose the chicken popper in the bacon. Secure with two toothpicks at the exposed end of the bacon through the chicken piece to the opposite side.
• Place poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Place the baking sheet under the broiler, one rack position down (not the top rack position to be better control broiling and not burn the bacon or toothpicks). Closely monitor the poppers and allow the bacon to begin to crisp and darken about 1 ½- 2 minutes; flip the poppers over and do the same on the opposite side.
• Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped peppers on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, about 15 minutes.

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wear gloves to protect your hands and use a small paring knife to cut the stem-end off the jalapeño; you should see the white ribs attached to the walls of the jalapeño. Use the paring knife to remove the ribs from the walls. Make a cut down the length of the jalapeño from the top to the tip. Carefully, without breaking the jalapeño in half, scrape out the ribs and seeds. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, add 3 tablespoons water, cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the jalapeños turn olive green and are lightly softened but are still firm and hold their shape, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool.
• Stuff each cooled jalapeño with a piece of cream cheese; squeeze the walls around the cream cheese to force out any air pockets and to seal the jalapeño walls together.
• Mix together the cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pound the chicken lengthwise down the breast to make a rectangular 1/4-inch-thick cutlet. Sprinkle with a quarter of the seasoned salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken and seasoned salt.
• With one of the narrow ends of the chicken facing you, lay a piece of Colby Jack cheese at the bottom of the cutlet. Place 1 stuffed jalapeño crosswise on top of the cheese about 2 inches from the bottom. Tightly roll up the chicken and the cheese around the jalapeño, folding in the sides as you roll. Repeat with the remaining chicken and jalapeños.
• Lay 5 strips of bacon on a clean work surface so that the strips are slightly overlapping (about 1/4-inch) and are wide enough to completely cover a chicken roll. Place 1 chicken roll at the bottom of the bacon blanket. Wrap the bacon tightly over the chicken roll. Repeat with the remaining bacon and chicken rolls.
• Prepare a grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high heat.
• Place the chicken rolls, bacon seam-side down, on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until the bacon is beginning to brown and the cheese is beginning to melt and ooze from the sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken rolls to the hot side of the grill and cook until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

BBQ BACON JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare the oven and baking sheet: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay a few layers of paper towels on top of a cooling rack and place them near the oven.
• Serve the poppers right away: Using tongs and a spatula in tandem to scoop up the poppers, remove from the grill and transfer to a platter. Serve immediately alongside sour cream, if desired. Discard the stems as you eat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
• Sprinkle insides of cut jalapeños lightly with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 10 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer your finished jalapeños to be more raw and crunchy.)
• Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
• Add cream cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if the instructions are unclear to you.)
• Fill the well in the cream cheese with a generous helping of Cheddar cheese.
• Cut bacon strips in 1/2.
• Wrap bacon around each jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick, if you like.
• Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet and place back in oven.
• Cook, watching closely, until cream cheese is hot and bubbling and bacon is done, about 25 - 30 minutes. Check to make sure jalapeños and bacon are done to your liking. If not, place back in oven for more time.
• Remove from oven when done.
• Serve hot with blue cheese and/or Buttermilk Ranch Dressings, to dip.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the cream cheese from the fridge so that it starts to soften.
• Soak 12 toothpicks in a bowl with water to use later for securing the bacon.
• Wash the jalapeños, and cut the stem ends off. Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds and ribs with your hands, or scoop out with a spoon. (Wear food-safe gloves for this step.)
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and smoked paprika.
• Cut the bacon slices in half.
• Fill the jalapeño halves with the cheese mixture. Then, wrap the jalapeños in bacon, and secure them each with a toothpick.
• Heat up your grill, and scrape it clean. Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Place the poppers on the grill cut side up, and grill for 3 minutes. Flip them carefully, and grill for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the bacon begins to crisp, but before you start to lose any oozy cheese. Flip the poppers again, and move them to indirect heat. Reduce the grill to low, and cook the poppers for another 10 minutes.
• While the poppers finish cooking, combine the BBQ sauce and the grape jelly in a small pot. Place the pot on the grill on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring until the mixture is simmering and smooth.
• When the poppers and sauce are ready, use a basting brush to glaze the poppers with the sauce.
• Cook the glazed poppers for another 5 minutes.
• Remove the poppers from the grill, and serve them with the remaining sauce on the side.
