TIPS

If you do not have a jalapeno grilling tool, you can simply slide the jalapeno by slicing it on one side.

If you do not like your peppers too hot, you can remove the seeds. Removing the seeds from the peppers will help remove some of the heat.

Spoon in about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the chicken mixture in the pepper. Wrap it closed by wrapping the bacon around the pepper. Pierce the bacon wrapped jalapeno pepper onto the metal skewer, each skewer can hold several peppers. Lay the skewers over a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. This will have the peppers upright, and all of the bacon grease will drip away from the pepper.
