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.

PARMESAN PANKO CHICKEN POPPERS

Steps:

• Combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a food processor; blend until finely crushed. Put panko mixture in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs and milk in a separate bowl to make an egg wash. Place flour in a bowl.
• Coat chicken pieces in flour; dip them into egg wash. Press into panko mixture to coat, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry chicken in batches, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

JALAPENO POPPERS

Steps:

• Take one whole chilli and using a small sharp knife make an incision along the length without cutting all the way through. Open up the cavity and using the end of a teaspoon scrape out and discard the seeds and the membrane. It's very good idea to wear gloves when you're preparing chillies in this way, and make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Repeat with all the other chillies.
• Mix the cream cheese with the mozzarella, season with salt and pepper then use it to fill the chillies. Push them gently to close them up and wipe off any excess.
• Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls or dishes and roll the stuffed chillies first in the flour then egg then breadcrumbs then repeat so they get a good double coating.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan until it reaches 160C. Carefully lower the chillies into the oil using a slotted spoon and deep fry in batches for around 2-3 mins or until deep golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to soak up the excess oil.
• Once the chillies are fried season them with pepper and salt and spread out on a plate or board so everyone can help themselves. Great with beer and a movie.

PANCAKE CHICKEN POPPERS WITH MAPLE WHISKEY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the maple whiskey sauce: Add the butter, grated onion, and lemon zest to a medium saucepan over medium heat, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter melts.
• Add the bourbon whiskey, maple syrup, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, five-spice powder, cayenne, and hot sauce to the pan. Whisk to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8 minutes until the sauce has reduced by a quarter. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Make the chicken poppers: Pour 4 inches (10 centimeters) oil into a deep heavy pot and bring the oil to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) over medium heat.
• Place the chicken in a large bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the five-spice powder, and black pepper. Using your hands or a large spoon, mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the chicken to the pan, in batches, if necessary, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Add more oil as needed between batches and set aside to cool.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and baking powder until combined. Add the milk and egg and mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Set a wire rack over a sheet pan. Working in batches, using tongs, dip the reserved chicken pieces into the batter, then carefully (as not to burn yourself) lower the pieces into the hot oil in the deep heavy pot. Cook until the chicken rises to the surface and the crust is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack. Serve immediately, with the dipping sauce on the side.

JALAPENO POPPER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir together the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and jalapenos in a small bowl.
• Cut a pocket horizontally through the thickest side of each chicken breast, and fill with 1/4 of the cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
• Roll the chicken breasts in bread crumbs to coat. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
