These grilled pheasant poppers are a great way to use and even enjoy the fowl the outdoorspeople in your life bring home. This appetizer creates a spicy, crisp, and delicious mouthful sure to fool anyone who would wrinkle up their nose to pheasant. This has quickly become my number 1 requested appetizer by friends and family. It's so simple and so darn good!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds pheasant breast

  • 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced jalapeño peppers, liquid reserved

  • 12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
