My husband is a hunter. He’s brought home deer, pheasant, fish, and bear. So I’m always looking around for recipes for wild game. This recipe is actually a family recipe and we both love it. He actually made this for me when we first started seeing each other in college. I had never had pheasant before and was nervous about eating it the whole time. They do have quite a kick and I am not a fan of really spicy food. But I ended up enjoying these immensely. You can substitute chicken for the pheasant but the bacon is a must! I hope you enjoy!

Poppers

Ingredients:

1 lb of bacon

jar of sliced jalapenos or freshly sliced jalapenos

Pheasant breasts, cut into bite size pieces

Recipe:

1. Turn oven on to broil.
2. Cut bacon stripes into two halves.
3. Wrap up one pheasant piece and one jalapeno in one half slice of bacon.
4. Secure wrapped bacon with toothpick. Be sure to leave enough room to grab toothpick when it’s in oven.
5. Place wrapped bacon on broiler pan (a must! It lets the grease drain out). Leave toothpick end up.
6. Broil about 8-10 minutes, then flip to cook other side.
7. Broil other side until done (about 6-8 minutes).
8. Enjoy!!

Sorry I didn’t snap an after picture. Mark and I devoured them too fast! Also when I have extra chicken or pheasant left, I just fry it up and feed it to my hungry husband.
