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. So simple and so darn good!INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 pounds pheasant breast
- 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced jalapeno peppers
- 12 slices bacon, cut into thirds
- 6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
- 36 toothpicks
- Cut the pheasant breast into 36 pieces, and place into a bowl. Pour the liquid from the jalapeno peppers over the pheasant, stir, and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Drain the marinade from the pheasant and discard. Place a slice of jalapeno pepper onto each piece of pheasant breast, and wrap with a third of a strip of bacon. Skewer 6 of the pheasant pieces on each skewer.
- Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until the bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skewers from the pheasant pieces, and place a toothpick into each piece to serve.
