Preparation
- Step 1
Heat a grill until hot. Season the hens with salt and pepper. Place 4 jalapeno halves in the cavity of each hen. Wrap 3 slices of bacon over the breast on each hen, securing the bacon with toothpicks that have been soaked in water. Place the hens on the grill and cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Cover the grill and cook until hens are cooked through, about 40 minutes, turning once. Remove the toothpicks, split the hens in half lengthwise, divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Absolutely delicious. We made this for our Christmas Eve dinner. We grilled on low and it took close to an hour. We served these along side stuffing and creamed spinach and WOW! The bacon makes it really special.
